DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United
States v. Allied Signal, Inc., Civil Action No. TH 97 154 CTF, was
lodged on May 28, 1997, with the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Indiana. The United States filed this action
pursuant to Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C.
Secs. 9606 and 9607, to secure the performance of a remedial action and
to recover past and future response costs incurred at or in connection
with the Prestolite Battery Site in Vincennes, Indiana. The Consent
Decree requires defendant Allied Signal to perform the remedial action
for the site selected by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency in a December, 1994 Record of Decision; to reimburse the United
States $950,000 for response costs incurred between March 31, 1993, and
January 31, 1996; and to reimburse the United States for all future
response costs incurred in connection with the Prestolite Site. The
remedial action selected by EPA provides for natural attenuation of the
contaminants in groundwater beneath the site, institutional controls to
prevent access to the contamination, and short and long-term monitoring
of the contamination.
