DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Remedial Design

and Remedial Action Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

(‘‘CERCLA’’) of 1980

In accordance with Department

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, and 42 U.S.C.

9622(d), notice is hereby given that on

October 9, 1997, a proposed CERCLA

Remedial Design and Remedial Action

Consent Decree (‘‘RD/RA Consent

Decree’’) in United States v. Alaska

Railroad Corporation, et al., Civil

Action No. A91–589 CIV, was lodged

with the United States District Court for

the District of Alaska.

In this action, the United States seeks

injunctive relief under Section 106 of

the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act of 1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’),

from the Alaska Railroad Corporation

(‘‘ARRC’’), Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc.,

Chugach Electric Association, Inc., J.C.

Penney and Co., Inc., Montgomery Ward

and Co. (‘‘Montgomery Ward’’), Sears,

Roebuck and Co., and Westinghouse

Electric Corporation (‘‘the Defendants’’)

to abate the releases and threatened

releases of hazardous substances into

the environment at the Standard Steel

Metals & Salvage Yard Superfund Site

in Anchorage, Alaska (‘‘the Site’’). The

United States also seeks reimbursement

from the Defendants other than ARRC

under Section 107(a) of CERCLA of

response costs it has incurred and will

continue to incur in connection with the

Site and a declaration under Section

113(g) of CERCLA of the liability of

those Defendants for further such

response costs. (ARRC is responsible

under an earlier Partial Consent Decree

in this case to pay 2.5% of such costs.)

Under the RD/RA Consent Decree, the

Defendants other than Montgomery

Ward (‘‘the Settling Defendant’’) will

implement the remedy chosen by the

Environmental Protection Agency for

the Site in its July 16, 1996 Record of

Decision. ARRC’s responsibility for

work to be performed at the Site is

limited, however, to implementation of

requirements of the Record of Decision

that only it, as party in possession and

control of the Site, can accomplish. The

RD/RA Consent Decree also requires the

Settling Defendants to reimburse the

Hazardous Substances Superfund for

38.5% of the costs incurred by the

United States in overseeing

implementation of the remedy over and

above $53,665.18. (This percentage

includes that owned by ARRC. The

remaining 61.5% of these costs are to be

paid by the federal government

pursuant to the aforementioned Partial

Consent Decree.)

The Department of Justice will receive

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

date of this publication comments

relating to the proposed RD/RA Consent

Decree. Comments should be addressed

to the Assistant Attorney General of the

Environment and Natural Resources

Division, Department of Justice,

Washington, D.C. 20530, and should

refer to United States v. Alaska Railroad

Corporation, et al. D.J. No. 90–11–3–

810.

The proposed RD/RA Consent Decree

may be examined at the Office of the

United States Attorney for the District of

Alaska, Room 253, Federal Building and

U.S. Courthouse, 222 West Seventh

Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99513–

Environmental Protection Agency,

Floor, Washington, D.C. 20005 (Tel:

RD/RA Consent Decree may be obtained
