Department of Justice
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Gaither
S. Walser, Executor of the Estate of Nancy Miller, et al., Civil Action
No. C-89-886-S, was lodged on April 7, 1994, with the United States
District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. That action
was brought against defendants pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')
for payment of past costs incurred by the United States at the JMC
Furniture Site in Lexington, North Carolina. The decree requires two
settlors to pay $145,000 towards the United States' past costs. The
United States has incurred costs in excess of $1.2 million in
connection with a removal action at the JMC Site.
This settlement is in addition to a consent decree with three prior
settlors which involved the payment of $446,000, and which was entered
by the Court on July 26, 1993.
