BILLING CODE 4410–15–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant

to the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act of 1980, as Amended

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR 50.7 and pursuant to

Section 122 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

(‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9622, notice is

hereby given that proposed Consent

Decrees in United States v. Mary Ruth

Smith, et al., Civil Action No. C90–

0232–L(R), were lodged on August 5,

1997, with the United States District

Court for the Western District of

Kentucky.

This case concerns the Smith Farm

Superfund Site, located in Bullit

County, in Kentucky (the ‘‘Site’’). The

Environmental Protection Agency

(‘‘EPA’’) divided the Site into two

Operable Units (‘‘OUs’’) to simplify the

remediation at both an unpermitted

disposal area (OU 1) and a former

landfill disposal area (OU 2). EPA

issued a Record of Decision (‘‘ROD’’) for

OU 1 on September 29, 1989, and

amended the ROD on September 30,

1991. EPA issued the ROD for OU 2 on

September 17, 1993. The selected

remedy at the Site for both OUs is the

installation of a landfill cap and a

leachate collection system. EPA

estimates the remedy to cost

approximately $38 million. The United

States has incurred approximately $5

million in past response costs. EPA

estimates that the total Site costs are $43

million.

Under the decrees, Ford Motor

Company agrees to undertake all

remedial work necessary at the Site,

while ultimately being responsible for

54.5% of the actual Site costs, and nine

other major parties (Akzo Nobel

Coatings, Inc.; The B.F. Goodrich

Company; General Electric Company;

Hoechst Celanese Corporation; Jim

Beam Brands Company; Navistar

International Transportation

Corporation; Rohm and Haas Kentucky

Incorporated; Safety Kleen

Envirosystems Company; and Waste

Management of Kentucky, LLC.) agree to

a ‘‘cashout’’ settlement representing

41% of the $43 million estimated

overall Site response costs and fund or

perform 41% of any future work.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days

from the date of this publication,

comments relating to the proposed

Consent Decree. Comments should be

addressed to the Assistant Attorney

General for the Environment and
44018 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 159 / Monday, August 18, 1997 / Notices

Natural Resources Division, Department

of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and

should refer to United States v. Mary

Ruth Smith, et al., DOJ Ref. #90–11–3–

549.

The United States filed a complaint in

this matter in March 1990, pursuant to

Sections 106 and 107 of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9606 and

9607, to recover past and future

response costs incurred and to be

incurred by the United States with

respect to the Site, and injunctive relief

for the Site.

On November 8, 1995, the Deputy

Assistant Administrator, Office of

Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement

Administration (DEA), issued an Order

to Show Cause to Oscar I. Ordonez,

Indiana, notifying him of an opportunity

to show cause as to why DEA should

not deny pending applications for

the public interest. By letter dated

November 28, 1995, Respondent,

parties called witnesses to testify and

introduced documentary evidence. After

the hearing, both parties submitted

proposed findings of fact, conclusions of

law and argument.

On June 17, 1997, Judge Bittner issued

her Opinion and Recommended Ruling,

and Decision, recommending that the

Deputy Administrator grant

Respondent’s application upon

Respondent’s filing of a certificate or

other demonstration of completion of a

course of at least sixteen hours of formal

training in the regulation and proper

handling of controlled substances.

Neither party filed exceptions to the

Administrative Law Judge’s

recommended decision, and on July 18,
