DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, notice is hereby given that
a proposed consent decree in United States v. Adflex Corporation, et
al., Civ. No. 95-CV-0012, was lodged on January 6, 1995, in the United
States District Court for the Western District of New York. The consent
decree settles an action commenced in a complaint filed January 6,
1995, under section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42
U.S.C. 9607(a). The Complaint seeks recovery of response costs incurred
by EPA in performing a removal action at the Envirotek I Superfund Site
(the ``Site''), located at 153 Fillmore Avenue, Tonawanda, New York.
The Site was formerly a paint and asphalt manufacturing facility and
consists of twelve buildings in various states of disrepair on
approximately two acres of land at 153 Fillmore Avenue, Tonawanda, New
York. The removal action included the sorting, segregating and disposal
of approximately 500 drums containing raw and waste materials
classified as flammable, combustible, corrosive and otherwise hazardous
materials under RCRA; 1700 containers of 10 gallons or less in size; 15
tanks and vats; 2 underground tanks; 6 electrical transformers
containing PCBs; approximately two dozen pallets of bagged pigments and
resins, including 20 bags of asbestos; and assorted powders and liquids
spilled onto the floors of various buildings. The defendants are
parties who are alleged to have arranged for the disposal or treatment
of hazardous substances that were disposed of at the Site.
The Consent Decree provides for payment by the defendants of
$1,098,771.37. The Consent Decree also resolves the liability of the
United States Department of Energy in connection with a federal
facility whose wastes may have been sent to the Site.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United
States v. Adflex Corporation, et al., DOJ Ref. #90-11-2-465A.
The proposed consent decree may be examined at the office of the
United States Attorney, Federal Center, 138 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo,
New York; the Region II Office of the Environmental Protection Agency,
