Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR Sec. 50.7, 38 FR
19029, and 42 U.S.C. 9622(d), notice is hereby given that a proposed
consent decree in United States v. Haviland Properties, Steven Roberts,
Myung Chung, Byung Chung, Raymond Sison, and Ines Sison, 97 Civ 8164
(BSJ) (S.D.N.Y), was lodged on November 4, 1997, with the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The consent
decree provides for payment by the settling defendants toward
reimbursement of response costs incurred in connection with the
remediation of hazardous waste contamination at the Haviland Complex
Superfund Site (``the Site''), which is located in the Town of Hyde
Park, Dutchess County, New York. The Consent Decree requires the
defendants to pay to total of $450,000 of the United States and $50,000
to the State of New York over a three year period. In addition, the
defendants have agreed to pay to the United States and the State 15% of
the net proceeds upon any sale of the property in exchange for the
transfer to the purchaser of the property of all rights, benefits and
obligations under the consent decree. In the alternative, if the
property is not sold within five years of the date of the entry of the
consent decree, the United States, at its option, may elect to require
the Defendants to pay the sum $30,000 in lieu of 15% of the net
proceeds.
