In accordance with Department

given that a proposed consent decree in

Company, Inc., et al., Civil Action No.

1:CV–93–1482, was lodged on with the

United States Court for the Middle

District of Pennsylvania on June 23,

1998.

The proposed consent decree pertains

to the Keystone Sanitation Superfund

Site (‘‘Site’’), located near Hanover,

Pennsylvania. The United States had

sued a number of defendants pursuant

to Section 107 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

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

past response costs incurred at the Site.

In the settlement, eight generator

defendants agree to perform on-site and

off-site groundwater remediation in

exchange for a site-wide covenant not to

sue under Section 106 and 107 of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, and

Section 7003 of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act, 42

U.S.C. 6673. They also agree to pay

$125,000 toward natural resource

damages in exchange for a covenant not

to sue under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42

U.S.C. 9607, for natural resource

damages. The settling generator

defendants also agree to reimburse

$13,000 of the past response costs

incurred by the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania in connection with the

Site, and to pay $30,000 toward state

natural resource damages, and in

exchange the Commonwealth provides

similar covenants not to sue under

CERCLA, RCRA, and the state statutory

counterparts. The settling generator

defendants receive contribution

protection for matters addressed in the

settlement, and waive all existing claims

against the plaintiffs and all generator or

transporter parties, as well as future

claims for contribution as to generators

and transporters contributing less than

18,000 cubic yards of municipal solid

wastes to the Site.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days
