Notice of Lodging of De Minimis

Consent Decrees Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act 

Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby 

given that on November 26, 2002, two 

proposed de minimis consent decrees 

(‘‘consent decrees’’) in United States v. 

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

AMD02CV3858 were lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

District of Maryland. One is a global de 

minimis consent decree for all settlors 

except Northrup Grumman Corporation 

(‘‘global de minimis consent decree’’). 

The other is the consent decree 

concluded with Northrup Grumman 

Corporation. 

In this action the United States sought 

cost recovery for costs incurred in 

connection with the Spectron, Inc. 

Superfund Site, located near Elkton, 

Maryland (the ‘‘Site’’). Under the terms 

of the consent decrees, the proposed 

settling parties, 477 potentially 

responsible parties and 15 federal 

agencies, would pay approximately 

$2.68 million to EPA to cover past and 

future response costs. All of the settling 

defendants contributed minor amounts 

of waste containing hazardous 

substances to the Site. Each party’s 

payment to EPA consists of its 

proportional share of EPA’s past costs 

($1,108,922) and estimated future costs 

($16,880,301), with a 100% premium on 

the estimated future costs. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the
