DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act, 42

U.S.C. 9601 to 9675

Notice is hereby given that two

proposed consent decrees in United

States v. Weil-McLain Inc., et al., Civil

Action No. 3:00CV0593RM, were lodged

on September 25, 2000 with the United

States District Court for the Northern

District of Indiana, South Bend

Division. Both consent decrees concern

claims under the Comprehensive

Environmental Compensation and

Liability Act (‘‘CERCLA’’) in connection

with the Waste, Inc. Superfund Site

located in Michigan City, Indiana (the

‘‘Site’’). One proposed decree (the

‘‘Conversion Consent Decree’’) resolves

the United States’ claims for costs, civil

penalties, and injunctive relief against

nine settling defendants who failed to

comply with a unilateral administrative

order issued by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency in December 1995.

This decree also resolves claims for past

costs incurred in connection with the

Site against forty-three (43) other

settling defendants and ensures the

continued implementation of the

remedial action at the Site that was

begun under EPA’s 1995 unilateral

administrative order.

The second proposed consent decree

(the ‘‘MWS Consent Decree’’) resolves

the United States’ claims against 18

other defendants for past costs incurred

in responding to the disposal of

municipal solid waste (MWS) at the

Site. The settling defendants under

consent decree sent only MSW to the

Site, and they will pay $227,000 into a

special account for use in remediation

of the Site.

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

Assistant Attorney General,

Environment and Natural Resources

Division, P.O. Box 7611, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20044–7611, and

should refer to United States v. WeilMcLain, Inc., et al., No. 3:00CV0593RM,

D.J. Ref. 90–11–3–1376B.

at the Office of the United States

Attorney, 204 South Main Street, South

Bend, Indiana 46601–2191; and at the

copy of the consent decrees may also be

obtained by mail from the Consent

Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611, U.S.

Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.
