ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-6306-3]
San Fernando Valley--Burbank Operable Unit Superfund Site;
Proposed Notice of Administrative Settlement
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601
et seq., notice is hereby given that a proposed Prospective Purchaser
Agreement associated with the San Fernando Valley North Hollywood
Superfund Site--Burbank Operable Unit was executed by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') on December 30, 1998. The
proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement would resolve certain
potential claims of the United States under sections 106 and 107 of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, against Cinnabar, Inc., Cinnabar
California, Cinnabar Florida, and Kamork Partners (collectively the
``Purchaser''). The Purchaser plans to acquire a three-acre parcel
located within the Burbank Operable Unit in Burbank, California, which
the Purchaser currently leases. The Purchaser intends to continue the
current use of the property as the location of its business for the
manufacture of scenery, props and movie miniatures. The proposed
settlement would require the Purchaser to pay EPA $ 50,000. EPA agreed
to this amount based on the Purchaser's demonstration to EPA that the
Purchaser has a limited ability-to-pay.
For thirty (30) calendar days following the date of publication of
this notice, EPA will receive written comments relating to the proposed
settlement. If requested prior to the expiration of this public comment
period, EPA will provide an opportunity for a public meeting in the
affected area. EPA's response to any comments received will be
available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 5, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Availability: The proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement
and additional background documentation relating to the settlement are
available for public inspection at the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. A copy of the
proposed settlement may be obtained from Marie M. Rongone, Assistant
Regional Counsel (ORC-3), Office of Regional Counsel, U.S. EPA Region
IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. Comments should
reference ``Cinnabar Prospective Purchaser Agreement, San Fernando
Valley Superfund Site, Burbank Operable Unit,'' and ``Docket
[[Page 10465]]
No. 99-04'' and should be addressed to Marie M. Rongone at the above
