                    Pursuant to 29 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on October 31, 2006, a proposed consent decree in                     *United States*                     v.                     *Bill D. Stallings and Stallings Salvage, Inc.,*                     Civil action No. 3:05CV247-H, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.                

                    This Consent decree will resolve claims asserted by the United States in a complaint previously filed against defendants Bill D. Stallings and Stallings Salvage, Inc., for past costs incurred by EPA at the Stallings Salvage Site in Monroe, North Carolina. A                           ( print page 66196)                        complaint was filed on May 31, 2005, alleging that defendant Bill D. Stallings is liable as a past owner of the Site at the time of disposal pursuant to CERCLA Section 107(a)(2), and that defendant Stallings Salvage, Inc. is liable as an operator at the Site at the time of disposal, also pursuant to CERCLA 107(a)(2).                

The Defendants agree to pay to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund the principal sum of $150,000 plus accrued interest, to be made in five installments. The first payment, in the amount of $10,000, is due within 30 days of entry of the Consent Decree. There will be three subsequent annual payments of $39,750.00 each, and a fourth and final annual payment consisting of the remaining principal owed, plus accrued interest. The final payment should be in roughly the same amount as the previous payments, depending on the actual interest rates each year. The Consent Decree provides that the annual payments will be  funded through an escrow account to be established by the Defendants.

                    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, P.O. Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer to                     *United States*                     v.                     *Bill D. Stallings and Stallings Salvage, Inc.,*                     D.J. Ref. #90-11-3-08007/1.
