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;
