**Casmalia Disposal Site; Notice of Proposed CERCLA Administrative De**  **Minimis Settlement**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice; request for public
comment.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with section 122(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (CERCLA) and section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the EPA and the State of California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Coast Region (Regional Board) and Department of Fish and Game (DFG) (jointly referred to as the State Regulatory Entities), are hereby providing notice of a proposed administrative de minimis settlement concerning the Casmalia Disposal Site in Santa Barbara County, California (the Casmalia Disposal Site). Section 122(g) of CERCLA provides EPA with the authority to enter into administrative de minimis settlements. This settlement is intended to resolve the liabilities of 142 settling parties for the Casmalia Disposal Site under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA and section 7003 of RCRA. These parties are identified below. Of these 142 parties, 100 have elected to resolve their liability with EPA and the State Regulatory Entities. An additional 42 parties have elected to resolve their liability only with the State Regulatory Entities at this time; 23 of these have previously settled with EPA. The parties that have settled with the State Regulatory Entities have also settled potential natural resource damage claims by the California Department of Fish and Game as the State Natural Resource Trustee (‘‘State Trustee’’). Most of those resolving their liability to the EPA have also elected to resolve their liability for response costs and potential natural resource damage claims by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The 100 parties settling with EPA and the State Regulatory Entities and State Trustee sent 19,762,737 lbs. of waste to the Casmalia Disposal Site, which represents 0.35% of total Site waste. This settlement requires these parties to pay over $1.7 million to EPA. These parties and the additional 42 parties settling with only the State Regulatory Entities and State Trustee will pay a total of $675,000 to the State Regulatory Entities and State Trustee. EPA is simultaneously publishing another Federal Register Notice relating to another settlement with de minimis parties that had received offers prior to the group of parties listed in this Notice.

Settling Parties: Parties that have elected to settle their liability with EPA and the State Regulatory Entities and State Natural Resource Trustee at this time are as follows: ABM Industries;
