Notice of Two Proposed Agreements, a 

CERCLA Agreement and Order on 

Consent for Removal Action by a Bona 

Fide Prospective Purchaser Related to 

The Former Caribbean Petroleum 

Refining, LP Facility, Bayamon, Puerto 

Rico, and a Proposed RCRA 

Compliance and Prospective 

Purchaser Agreement Related to 

Gasoline Service Stations’ 

Underground Storage Tanks Currently 

Owned by Caribbean Petroleum 

Corporation at Locations Throughout 

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice; request for public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: This Notice alerts the public 

to two proposed administrative 

settlements for which public comment 

is requested. In one, Puma Energy, 

Caribe LLC (‘‘Puma’’) and the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’) propose to enter into an 

agreement and order on consent for a 

removal action by a bona fide 

prospective purchaser concerning the 

former Caribbean Petroleum Refining, 

LP (‘‘CPR’’) facility located in Carr #28, 

KM. 2, Luchetti Industrial Park, 

Bayamon, in the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico, Docket Number CERCLA– 

02–2011–2003 (referred to as the 

‘‘CERCLA Agreement’’) in accordance 

with the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 

9601–9675. In the other proposed 

agreement (referred to as the ‘‘RCRA 

UST Agreement’’), Puma, the United 

States on behalf of EPA, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on behalf 

of the Puerto Rico Environmental 

Quality Board propose to enter into an 

underground storage tank (‘‘UST’’) 

compliance and prospective purchaser 

agreement, Index Number RCRA–02– 

2011–7504, in accordance with Subtitle 

I of the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act, as amended (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 

U.S.C. 6991–6991m, concerning issues 

related to UST systems at one hundred 

and forty-seven (147) gasoline service 

stations currently owned or leased by 

Caribbean Petroleum Corporation 

(‘‘CPC’’) and located throughout the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Pursuant to a sale authorized by the 

United States Bankruptcy Court for the 

District of Delaware, Puma has been 

approved to purchase the former CPR 

facility and the CPC service stations in 

a sale scheduled to occur in early May 

2011. Puma has agreed to perform 

certain cleanup actions at the former 

CPR facility in the proposed CERCLA 

Agreement. In addition, with regard to 

the service stations, Puma has agreed in 

the proposed RCRA UST Agreement to 

assume responsibilities for the UST 

systems and required cleanup work and 

to make certain improvements at the 

service stations that are not required by 

law. The proposed CERCLA Agreement 

includes a covenant by the United 

States not to sue Puma pursuant to 

Sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA for 

existing contamination at the former 

CPR facility. The proposed RCRA UST 

Agreement includes a covenant by the 

United States not to sue Puma pursuant 

to Section 9006 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 

6991e, for violations of the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 

Underground Storage Tank Control 

Regulations, Puerto Rico Administrative 

Regulation Number 4362, that exist at 

the one hundred and forty-seven (147) 

service stations as of the date of Puma’s 

acquisition or that arise within ninety 

days of the date of acquisition by Puma. 

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is 

also providing Puma with a covenant 

not to sue in the proposed RCRA UST 

Agreement. The covenants in both 

Agreements are subject to specified 

conditions. For seven (7) days following 

the date of publication of this notice, the 

Agency will receive written comments 

relating to the two proposed 

Agreements. The Agency will consider 

all comments received and may modify 

or withdraw its consent to either or both 

of the Agreements if comments received 

disclose facts or considerations which 

indicate that the Agreements are 

inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. 

Because of strict deadlines in the 

bankruptcy proceeding involving the 

corporations which presently own the 

CPR facility and own or have lease 

rights at the service stations, the 

deadline for receipt of public comments 

cannot be extended. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before May 9, 2011.
