BILLING CODE 6116–01–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that on March 21, 1997, the

United States lodged a proposed

Consent Decree in State of Washington

versus United States, No. C94–5326

(W.D. Wash.), with the United States

District Court for the Western District of

Washington. The Consent Decree

resolves civil claims filed by the United

States against PACCAR, Inc.

(‘‘PACCAR’’) under Sections 106 and

107 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation

and Liability Act of 1980 (‘‘CERCLA’’),

as amended, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9606 &

9607, to compel PACCAR to undertake

cleanup activities at the Wyckoff/Eagle

Harbor Superfund Site (‘‘the Site’’),

located at Bainbridge Island, Kitsap

County, Washington, and to recover

from PACCAR costs incurred by the

United States in response to releases of

hazardous substances at the Site. The

Consent Decree also resolves PACCAR’s

contribution claims against the United

States under Sections 107 and 113 of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9613, relating

to the Site.

Extensive areas of the harbor’s

bedlands, as well as areas of the harbor’s

uplands, are contaminated with a

variety of hazardous substances

associated with the past operations of a

shipyard and a wood treating facility at

the harbor. Under the Consent Decree,

PACCAR will implement the major

components of EPA’s selected remedy

for the West Harbor Operable Unit

(‘‘WHOU’’) of the Site. The estimated

value of PACCAR’s cleanup work is $4.8

million. The Decree also requires

PACCAR to pay $100,000 towards costs

EPA expects to incur overseeing work

performed by PACCAR, and to pay 45%

of any cost overruns, and 45% of any

unanticipated additional response

actions required to achieve the goals of

the environmental cleanup of the

WHOU.

The Consent Decree requires the

United States, on behalf of the United

States Navy, Army, Coast Guard, Coast

& Geodetic Survey and Maritime

Administration, to pay $4.8 million

towards EPA’s eventual cleanup of the

East Harbor Operable Unit of the Site

(‘‘EHOU’’), and $100,000 towards

expected EPA WHOU oversight costs.

The United States, on behalf of these

federal agencies, has also agreed to pay

40% of any cost overruns, and 40% of

any unanticipated additional response

actions required to achieve the goals of

the environmental cleanup of the

WHOU.

The Consent Decree resolves

PACCAR’s liability to the United States

under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA,

and the United States’ liability to

PACCAR under Sections 107 and 113 of

CERCLA, for all costs either party has

incurred or may incur in response to

releases of hazardous substances at the

Site. The Consent Decree does not

address the United States’ pending

claims against the State of Washington

under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA

relating to the Site, or the State’s claims

against the United States for

contribution under Sections 107 and

113 of CERCLA relating to the Site.

In order to allow the Department of

Justice to evaluate public comments in

time to avoid delaying the clean up

work required by the Consent Decree,

the Department must receive all

comments by April 22, 1997.

Accordingly, the Department of Justice

will receive, until and including that

date, comments relating to the proposed

Consent Decree. Comments should be

addressed to the Assistant Attorney

General for the Environment and

Natural Resources Division, U.S.

Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania

Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20530,

and should refer to State of Washington

versus United States, DOJ Ref. #90–7–1–

525b.
