DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act

    In accordance with Department of Justice policy, notice is hereby 
given that on March 29, 2007, a proposed consent decree (``Consent 
Decree'') in United States v. Masterwear Corporation, et al., Civil 
Action No. 05-cv-00373, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
    The Consent Decree would resolve claims for unreimbursed past 
response costs and projected future response costs incurred by the 
United States related to the ongoing removal action at the Masterwear 
Superfund Site (``Site'') in Martinsville, Indiana. Under the Consent 
Decree, the five defendants (James A. Reed, Linda Lou Mull Reed, 
Masterwear Corporation, William J. Cure, and Elizabeth J. Cure) named 
in the United States' complaint would pay a total of $380,000 in past 
costs and estimated future costs, based on agreements with their 
insurance companies (the insurance companies are not signatories to the 
proposed Consent Decree but have private agreements with the defendants 
to make the payments). The settlement would provide EPA with complete 
reimbursement for past and projected future costs relating to the 
removal action. The defendants will remain responsible under a 
Unilateral Administrative Order dated April 22, 2004 for completing the 
removal work at the Site, which they also intend to finance with funds 
from their insurance companies.
    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, 
Environmental and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to
