 By the terms of the proposed AOC for 
                    *de minimis*
                     settlement, the settling parties will pay a combined total of $668,695.88 to the Hazardous Substance Superfund. This payment represents approximately 9.9% of the $6,748,001.01 in past and estimated future response costs ($3,028,001.01 in past response costs incurred through September 30, 2000, plus $3,720,000.00 for the estimated future work at the site). The money will be deposited into a special account which can be used to pay for future work at the Site. The settling parties manifested 121,978.059 gallons of hazardous substances to the Site. This amount represents approximately 7.81% of the 1,561,451.371 gallons of hazardous substances manifested to the Site by all generators, both 
                    *de minimis*
                     and non-
                    *de minimis*. The amount that each individual PRP will pay, as shown above, was based upon the number of gallons of hazardous substances manifested to the Site. The total amount of settlement dollars owed by each party to the settlement was arrived at by adding their Base Amount to a Premium Amount. The cost per gallon of $4.32 was derived by dividing the estimated clean-up cost at the time of calculation of $6,748,001.01 by the 1,561,451.371 total gallons of hazardous substances manifested to the Site. The settling party's Base Amount was calculated by multiplying the cost per gallon by the number of gallons that party manifested to the Site. A fifty per cent (50%) premium on the estimated future response costs of $3,720,000 was calculated into each settling parties' payment. To be eligible for the 
                    *de minimis*
                     settlement, each PRP must have submitted a response to EPA's Request for Information, and must have contributed no more than 1% of the total volume of hazardous substances manifested to the Site. It is so Agreed: Dated: May 17, 2001. Carol Rushin, Assistant Regional Administrator, Office of Enforcement, Compliance, and Environmental Justice, Region VIII.
