In accordance with Departmental

Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed Consent Decree in

United States v. Borden Chemicals and

Plastics Operating Limited Partnership,

1998. The proposed Consent Decree

under the CAA for failing to limit urea

emissions and failing to immediately

report releases of hazardous substances

under CERCLA.

Under the terms of the Consent

Decree, Borden will: (1) Pay a civil

penalty in the sum of $3.6 million; (2)

perform a facility wide corrective action

under RCRA; (3) commence interim

measures of investigation and

remediation, if necessary, in the Norco

Aquifer, the shallow groundwater zones,

the ‘‘S’’ zone and eight other soil and

groundwater areas of the facility; (4)

apply for a RCRA permit for Borden’s

VCR Unit and any other RCRA-regulated

Unit; (5) decommission the

underground injection wells at the

facility; and (6) set aside $400,000 to

fund community based programs

consisting of equipment donations to

local emergency response units and

funding for a technical center for the

dissemination of information related to

environmental decision making and

citizen participation.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days

from the date of this publication,
