SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

122(i) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response,

1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 

U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given by 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’), Region II, of a 

proposed amendment to an 

administrative agreement pursuant to 

section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 

9622(h), for recovery of response costs 

concerning the Amenia Town Landfill 

Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’) located in the 

Town of Amenia, Dutchess County,

settlement included a covenant not to 

sue the settling parties pursuant to 

section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.

amendment to the prior settlement 

agreement would add the two additional 

parties who would be subject to the 

same obligations and benefits under the 

prior settlement as the original parties to 

that settlement and a further obligation 

to pay an additional $11,000 each 

($22,000 total) in reimbursement of 

EPA’s past costs. For thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, EPA will receive written 

comments relating to the proposed 

amendment to the prior settlement. EPA 

will consider all comments received and 

may modify or withdraw its consent to 

the amendment to the settlement if 

comments received disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that the 

proposed amendment is inappropriate, 

improper or inadequate. EPA’s response 

to any comments received will be 

available for public inspection at EPA 

Region II, 290 Broadway, New York,
