DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Stipulation and Joint Motion to Amend
Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on February 25, 1998, a proposed
Stipulation and Joint Motion To Amend Consent Decree (``Joint Motion To
Amend Consent Decree'') in United States v. Environmental Conservation
and Chemical Co., et al., Cause Number IP 83-1419-C-M/S, was lodged
with the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Indiana.
On September 10, 1991, the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Indiana entered a Consent Decree that resolved the United
States' claim for injunctive relief and for reimbursement of response
costs, brought pursuant to Sections 104, 106, and 107(a) of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
42 U.S.C. 9604, 9606, and 9607(a). The 1991 Consent Decree required the
settling defendants to implement the remedy selected by U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency in a September 25, 1987, Record of
Decision (``ROD'') and a June 7, 1991, ROD Amendment. In 1997, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency issued an Explanation of Significant
Differences that modified the ROD, as amended, in several respects. The
Joint Motion To Amend Consent Decree would amend the 1991 Consent
Decree to make it consistent with the modified remedy set forth in the
1997 Explanation of Significant Differences.
The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Joint
Motion To Amend Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the

Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC. 20530, and should

et al. and D.J. Ref. Number 90-11-2-48.
The Joint Motion To Amend Consent Decree may be examined at the
Office of the United States Attorney, Southern District of Indiana, at
U.S. EPA Region 5, and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street,
NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC. 20005, (202) 624-0892. A copy of the
