on Consent for the Bohaty Drum Site in Medina, Ohio
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S. EPA'').
ACTION: Proposal of CERCLA Section 122(g)(4) De Minimis Administrative
Order on Consent for the Bohaty Drum Site in Medina, Ohio.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: U.S. EPA proposes to address the potential liability of one
party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., as amended
by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (``SARA''),
Public Law 99-499,
[[Page 15803]]
for past and future costs incurred in connection with a federal fund
lead removal action conducted at the Bohaty Drum Site (``the Site'')
located in Medina, Ohio. The U.S. EPA proposes to address the potential
liability of PPG Industries, Inc. (``PPG'') by execution of a CERCLA
Section 122(g)(4) De Minimis Administrative Order on Consent (``AOC'')
prepared pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)(4). The key terms and conditions
of the AOC may be briefly summarized as follows: (1) U.S. EPA has
determined that the amount of hazardous substances contributed to the
Site by PPG and the toxic or other hazardous effects of the hazardous
substances contributed to the Site by PPG are minimal in comparison to
other hazardous substances at the Site within the meaning of Section
122(g)(1)(A) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)(1)(A); (2) PPG agrees to pay
U.S. EPA 10,875.00 in satisfaction of claims for past and future costs
incurred at the Site in connection with the removal and disposal of
approximately 1000 drums and their contents; (3) PPG agrees to waive
all claims against the United States that arise out of response
activities conducted at the Site; and (4) U.S. EPA affords PPG a
covenant not to sue for past and future costs incurred at the Site and
contribution protection as provided by CERCLA Sections 113(f)(2) and
122(g)(5) upon satisfactory completion of obligations under the
Settlement. The Site is not on the NPL, and no further response
activities at the Site are anticipated at this time. The Attorney
General has approved the Settlement.
DATE: Comments on the proposed AOC must be received by U.S. EPA on or
before May 9, 1996.

EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
