SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of

De Minimis Settlement: In accordance

with section 122(I)(1) of CERCLA,

notification is hereby given of a

proposed administrative settlement

concerning the Novak Sanitary Landfill

Superfund Site, in Lehigh County, PA.

Notification of an opportunity for a

public meeting pursuant to section 7003

of the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’) is also hereby

given. The agreement was proposed by

EPA Region III. Subject to review by the

public pursuant to this document, the

agreement has met with the approval of

the Attorney General or her designee,

United States Department of Justice.

Below is the party who has executed

a binding certification of its consent to

participate in this settlement:

The Lehigh Valley VocationalTechnical School. This party has agreed

to pay $79,565.24, subject to the

contingency that EPA may elect not to

complete the settlement if comments

received from the public during this

comment period or at a public meeting,

if one is requested, discloses facts or

considerations which indicate the

proposed settlement is inappropriate,

improper, or inadequate. Money

collected from the de minimis party will

be used for past response costs incurred

at or in connection with the Site. The

amounts to be paid by the de minimis

party include a premium to cover the

risk that unknown conditions are

discovered or information previously

unknown to EPA is received.

EPA is entering into this agreement

under the authority of sections 122(g)

and 107 of CERCLA and section 7003 of

RCRA. Section 122(g) authorizes

settlements with de minimis parties to

allow them to resolve their liabilities at

Superfund sites without incurring

substantial transaction costs. The de

minimis party is responsible for less

than one percent of the volume of waste

that may have contained hazardous

substance disposed of at the Site. EPA

issued a draft settlement proposal on

May 10, 1995. De minimis settlements

with seven other de minimis parties

became effective on July 10, 1995. In

July of 1996, EPA issued a final

settlement proposal to Lehigh Valley

Vocational-Technical School embodied

in the Administrative Order on Consent.

The proposed settlement reflects

conditions known to the parties on or

about November 19, 1996. The de

minimis settling party will be required

to pay its volumetric share of the

Government’s past response costs,

estimated costs incurred by the

potentially responsible parties that

performed the Remedial Investigation/

Feasibility Study(‘‘RI/FS’’) for the Site,

and the estimated future response costs

at the Site (excluding any federal claims

for natural resources damages or any

State claims), plus the premium

amount.
