DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Under 28 C.F.R. § 50.7, notice is

hereby given that on September 12,

1997, a proposed Consent Decree in

United States v. Marine Shale

Processors, Inc., Civ. No. CV90–1240,

was lodged with the United States

District Court for the Western District of

Louisiana.

In this action against Marine Shale

Processors, Inc., (‘‘MSP’’) the United

States sought to recover civil penalties

and enjoin violations of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act

(‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq., the

Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et

seq., the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7413.

The United States also sought relief

under the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

(‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. § § 9604, 9606,

and 9607. MSP operated a facility in

Morgan City, Louisiana that treated

hazardous waste by combustion.

This settlement resolves civil claims

pending against MSP, as well as the

civil claims against Southern Wood

Piedmont, one of MSP’s customers, and

Recycling Park, Inc., an intervenor. The

Proposed Decree also settles the claims

of the State of Louisiana, co-Plaintiff in

a number of the claims.

Under the proposed Decree, a new

company, GTX, Inc. will purchase the

assets and liabilities of MSP if and when

GTX obtains certain environmental

permits. MSP will pay a total penalty in

excess of $10 million. GTX will dispose

of the incinerator ash produced by MSP

in a RCRA Subtitle C landfill. Further,

GTX will upgrade the pollution control

devices and hazardous waste storage

tanks at the Facility.

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.
