DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Lodging of Settlement and Stipulated Order Pursuant to the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that a proposed Settlement and Stipulated
Order in In re: Leaseway Transportation Corp., Inc. No. 92 B 22373 (HS)
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) was lodged on January 12, 1994, with the Bankruptcy
Court for the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York. The proposed Settlement requires the debtor Anchor Motor
Freight, Inc. (``Anchor''), as the subject of a claim filed under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq., to reimburse the United States
$17,500.00 for certain costs incurred by the United States in
connection with the Laskin/Polar Oil Superfund Site (the ``Laskin
Site''), located in Jefferson, Ohio.
Six prior consent decrees have been entered in connection with the
Laskin Site. Through entry of the 1989 consent decree in United States
v. Alvin F. Laskin, et al., CA No. 84-2035Y (N.D. Ohio), defendants
paid the United States $1.47 million as partial reimbursement for
certain past costs. In 1990, the United States entered into a Remedial
Design/Remedial Action consent decree with certain defendants in United
States v. Alvin Laskin, et al., CA No. 4:90CV0483 (N.D. Ohio), wherein
27 defendants became obligated to conduct the remedial action at the
Laskin Site and pay, along with 131 de minimis defendants, certain
future oversight costs and approximately $1.38 million as partial
reimbursement of additional United States' past costs.
Through entry on August 27, 1993, of three consent decrees in
United States v. Anchor Motor Freight, CA No. 4: 89CV1999 (N.D. Ohio),
ten defendants paid the United States approximately $2.7 million as
partial reimbursement for certain costs. Through entry on November 16,
1993, of the sixth consent decree for this site, five defendants in the
Anchor Motor Freight case paid the United States approximately $1.4
million as partial reimbursement for certain costs.
Anchor did not sign the first decree entered in connection with the
Laskin/Poplar Oil Site, nor any of the consent decrees entered in the
Anchor Motor Freight case. The proposed Settlement reimburses the
United States for certain money expended but not reimbursed through
entry of any consent decree for the Laskin/Poplar Oil site.
For a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication,
the Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, DC., 20530, and should refer to In
re: Leaseway Transportation Corp., Inc. and DOJ Ref. No. 90-11-3-38C.
The proposed Settlement may be examined at the office of the United
States Attorney, 100 Church Street, 19th Floor, New York, New York
10007; the Region 5 Office of U.S. EPA, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago,
Illinois, 60604-3590; and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20005, (202) 624-0892. Copies of the proposed
consent decree may be obtained in person or by mail from the Consent
Decree Library. In requesting a copy of a consent decree, please
identify which consent decree is sought and enclose a check in the
amount of $4.25 for the consent decree (25 cents per page reproduction
costs) payable to ``Consent Decree Library.''
John C. Cruden,
Chief, Environmental Enforcement Section, Environment and Natural
Resources Division.
