Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 208 / Thursday, October 26, 2000 / Notices 64235

(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9607, to recover its

past costs incurred at the Keystone

Sanitation Co. Superfund Site, located

near Hanover, Pennsylvania. There have

been a number of prior consent decrees

at the site. The proposed consent decree

obligates the Owner/Operators to

perform and fully finance the enhanced

landfill gas extraction (‘‘ELGE’’)

alternate remedy, which EPA proposed

at the Site on June 1, 2000 if, after

review of public comment, EPA selects

it. The decree also requires the Owner/

Operators to implement the landfill cap,

which EPA previously selected as a

remedy at the Site in a 1990 ROD, or a

contingent remedy if the ELGE alternate

remedy is selected but fails to meet

performance standards. EPA agrees to

share the costs of those latter two

remedial actions.

The Owner/Operators also agree to

pay $125,000 toward natural resource

damages. Waste Management is

obligated to pay $250,000 as a penalty

for its non-compliance with a prior

unilateral administrative order at the

Site. As with prior settlements at the

Site, the owner/operators also waive all

existing claims for contribution against

all generator or transporter parties, and

future claims for contribution in the

event of a reopener against parties

meeting specific criteria.

The Pennsylvania Department of

Environmental Protection (PADEP) is a

co-plaintiff and signatory to this decree.

It provides a covenant not to sue under

CERCLA and its state Superfund statute

in exchange for the Owner/Operators’

agreement to perform the work and

operation and maintenance at the Site,

and to reimburse it for certain past costs

and natural resource damages. The

decree also resolves two small related

actions, brought under the Federal Debt

Procedures Collection Act, 28 U.S.C.

3001 et seq., and one brought by the

Keystone Defendants under the

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.A.

552.

The Department of Justice will receive

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

date of this publication comments

relating to the Consent Decree.

Comments should be addressed to the

Assistance Attorney General,

Environment and Natural Resources

Division, P.O. Box 7611, U.S.

States v. Keystone Sanitation Co., Inc.,

et al., (M.D. Pa.), DOJ #90–11–2–656A.

Attorney for the Middle District of
