DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on September 3, 1999, a proposed
Partial Consent Decree (``Consent Decree'') in United States v. Johnnie
Williams, et al., Civil Action No. 98-2704-MI-BRE was lodged with the
United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.
In this action, the United States sought reimbursement of past
response costs under section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a). The costs were incurred with respect
to the W & R Drum Site located at 1492 Grimes Place, Memphis, Shelby
County, Tennessee (the ``Site''). W & R Drum used the Site to
recondition drums that originally contained printing inks, paints,
solvents, and other hazardous substances. W & R Drum's operations left
behind contaminated soil and approximately 27,000 drums. Under the
proposed settlement, defendant Lilly Industries, Inc. has agreed to pay
a total of $560,000 in reimbursement of the United States' past
response costs.
The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)
