Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 178 / Thursday, September 15, 2005 / Notices 54571 

First Round De Minimis Consent 

Decree. Under the Supplemental 

Consent Decree, each of the named 

defendants would pay a proportionate 

share of all past and future response 

costs incurred and to be incurred at the 

Site, plus a premium. In return for these 

payments, each defendant would 

receive a covenant not to sue by the 

United States, subject to certain 

reservations of rights, and contribution 

protection from suit by other potentially 

responsible parties. However, because 

two of the settlors/named defendants 

chose a lower settlement premium with 

a ‘‘reopener,’’ their liability can be 

reopened in the event that Site future 

response costs exceed $26 million. The 

other twenty settlors/named defendants 

selected a higher settlement premium, 

with no ‘‘reopener’’ provision. The total 

recovery under this Consent Decree 

should be approximately $270,000. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to this Supplemental Consent 

Decree. Comments should be addressed

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

In accordance with Departmental 

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, and Section 

122(d)(2) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2), 

notice is hereby given that on 

September 1, 2005, a proposed 

Remedial Design/Remedial Action 

Consent Decree (‘‘Decree’’) in United 

States v. The Oeser Company, Civil 

Action No. C05–1491–JCC (W.D. 

Washington) was lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

Western District of Washington. 

The Decree resolves claims of the 

United States against the Oeser 

Company (‘‘Oeser’’) under Sections 106 

and 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 

and 9607(a), for injunctive relief, civil 

penalties, and recovery of response 

costs incurred and to be incurred by the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’) at the Oeser Company 

Superfund Site located in Whatcom 

County, Bellingham, Washington 

(‘‘Site’’). The Decree requires Oeser to 

implement EPA’s selected remedial 

action for the Site, pay EPA’s future 

oversight costs at the Site, and pay at 

least $8.6 million in reimbursement of 

EPA’s past response costs. The remedial 

action is expected to cost about $3.8 

million, but costs could go as high as $6 

million. To secure the funds for the 

cleanup, Oeser will deposit 

approximately $6 million into two trust 

accounts that will be used first to pay 

for the cleanup and secondly, if any 

funds remain, to provide additional 

reimbursement of EPA’s past costs. In 

addition, the company agrees to 

contribute $500,000 to a trust account 

held by the City of Bellingham for 

performance of a cleanup of Little 

Squalicum Creek.
