DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decrees

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR § 50.7, and 42 U.S.C.

§ 9622(d), notice is hereby given that on

September 8, 1997, the United States of

America, on behalf of the United States

Environmental Protection Agency

(‘‘EPA’’) lodged with the United States

District Court for the Western District of

Washington a civil complaint against

defendants Seattle Disposal Company,

John Bancero, Josie Razore, and their

respective marital communities (‘‘the

SDC defendants’’), Washington Waste

Hauling and Recycling, Inc.

(‘‘Washington Waste Hauling’’),

Monsanto Company, the Board of

Regents of the University of

Washington, Lockheed Martin

Corporation, the Port of Seattle, Sears,

Roebuck & Company, R.W. Rhine, Inc.,

the City of Mercer Island, Washington,

the Seattle School District, and

Quemetco, Inc., in the civil action styled

United States v. Seattle Disposal

Company, et al., Civil Action No. C97–

1462–Z. The complaint states claims for

relief against the defendants under

Sections 106 and 107 of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability

Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9606

& 9607, for an order requiring the

implementation of the permanent

environmental remedy selected by EPA

for the Site, and for the recovery of costs

incurred in response to releases of

hazardous substances at the Tulalip

Landfill Superfund Site in Marysville,

Washington (‘‘the Site’’). The complaint

also states claims for relief against the

Tulalip Tribes under Section 309 of the

Clean Water Act (‘‘the Act’’), 33 U.S.C.

1319, for civil penalties and injunctive

relief for discharges of pollutants from

the landfill in violation of Section 301

of the Act, 33 U.S.C. Sec. 1311. The

Tulalip Tribes of Washington and the

Tulalip Section 17 Corporation (together

‘‘the Tulalip Tribes’’) are listed as a

defendants-in-intervention in the

complaint and intend to file a motion to

intervene in this action prior to the

entry of the consent decrees.

On September 8 the United States also

lodged three consent decrees in this

action resolving all of the claims for

relief stated against the defendants in

the complaint. The first consent decree

resolves the United States’ claims

against defendant Washington Waste

Hauling and defendants-in-intervention

the Tulalip Tribes. This consent decree

requires defendant Washington Waste

Hauling to implement the remedy

selected by EPA for the Site and

conduct operation and maintenance of

the remedy for up to five years. The

consent decree also requires the Tulalip

Tribes to take over operation and

maintenance of the remedy after

Washington Waste Hauling fulfills its

operation and maintenance obligations.

The consent decree also requires the

Tulalip Tribes to pay $1,000,000 toward

operation and maintenance costs at the

Site.

To second consent decree resolves the

United States’ claims against the SDC

defendants. This consent decree

requires the SDC defendants to pay $9.5

million towards the cost of

implementing EPA’s selected remedy

for the Site and reimbursement of costs

incurred by EPA in response to releases

of hazardous substances at the Site.

The third consent decree resolves the

United States’ claims against the

remaining defendants, and the potential

counterclaims against the United States

Navy and the Bureau of Indian Affairs

of the United States Department of

Interior (‘‘BIA’’) with respect to the Site.

The consent decree requires the

remaining defendants and the settling

federal agencies to pay $4,645,457.00

toward the cost of implementing EPA’s

selected remedy for the Site.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days
