DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decrees Pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7 and section 
122(d)(2)(B) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2)(B), notice is hereby given 
that on December 22, 2004, two proposed consent decrees in United 
States v. Johnson Controls, Inc., et al. Civil Action No. 04-74987, 
were lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Michigan.
    The two consent decrees resolve certain claims of the United States 
against three companies under sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 
U.S.C. 9606 and 9607(a), at the Shiawassee River Superfund Site (``the 
Site'') in Howell, Livingston County Michigan. One of the consent 
decrees is with Johnson Controls, Inc. and Hoover Universal, Inc. That 
consent decree requires Johnson Controls and Hoover Universal to 
perform the remedial action EPA has selected for the Site. EPA's 
selected remedial action involves the removal of polychlorinated 
biphenyl (``PCB'') contamination from specified areas of the flood 
plain and river sediment of the Shiawassee River. The second consent 
decree is with Multifastener Corporation. That consent decree requires 
that Multifastener pay the United States $1,700,000 for past response 
costs incurred by EPA in connection with the Site.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the two 
proposed consent decrees. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, United 
States Department of Justice, P.O. Box 7611, Ben Franklin Station, 
Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer to United States v. Johnson 
Controls, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 04-74987, and the Department of 
Justice Reference No. 90-11-3-07946.
    The two proposed consent decrees may be examined at the Office of 
the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, 211 W. 
Fort Street, Suite 2001, Detroit, Michigan 48226. During the public 
comment period, the two consent decrees may also be examined on the
