SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation

and Liability Act of 1980, as amended

(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.,

notice is hereby given of a proposed cost

recovery settlement agreement under

section 122(h) of CERCLA concerning

the Old Southington Landfill Superfund

Site in Southington, CT. The settlement

was approved by EPA Region I, subject

to review by the public pursuant to this

Notice. The Town of Southington,

Connecticut has executed a signature

page committing it to participate in the

settlement. Under the proposed

settlement, the Town of Southington

will pay $400,000 to the EPA Hazardous

Substance Superfund to fund the cost of

relocation of residences located on the

Old Southington Landfill Superfund

Site. Relocation of the residences is

necessary in order to implement

remedial action selected by EPA in a

Record of Decision issued on September

22, 1994. The selected interim remedy

for limited source control includes

constructing a cap over the Site and

removing all residential and commercial

structures from the Site. EPA believes

the settlement is fair and in the public

interest.

EPA is entering into this agreement

under the authority of CERCLA Section

122(h) which provides EPA with

authority to consider, compromise, and

settle a claim under Section 107 of

CERCLA for costs incurred by the

United States if the claim has not been

referred to the U.S. Department of

Justice for further action. The U.S.

Department of Justice has given written

approval of this settlement. EPA will

receive written comments relating to

this settlement for thirty (30) days from

the date of publication of this Notice.

A copy of the proposed administrative

settlement may be obtained in person or
