DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Water Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

November 1, 2007, a proposed 

‘‘Agreement and Order Regarding 

Modification of the Consent Decree with 

Respect to TESI’’ in U.S. v. Acadia 

Woods Add. #2 Sewer Co., Civil Action 

No. 6:98–0687, was lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

Western District of Louisiana. 

In this action, the United States 

sought injunctive relief and civil 

penalties under the Clean Water Act 

(‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., in 

connection with sewage treatment 

plants (‘‘STPs’’) in Louisiana owned and 

operated by Johnson Properties, Inc. On 

December 21, 2000, the ‘‘Consent Decree 

with Respect to TESI’’ was entered (‘‘the 

2000 Consent Decree’’). On December 

23, 2000, Total Environmental 

Solutions, Inc. (‘‘TESI’’) purchased the 

STPs at issue in the civil action. The 

2000 Consent Decree provided a plan 

and schedule whereby TESI would 

bring the STPs it purchased into 

compliance with the CWA. The 

proposed Agreement and Order 

Regarding Modification of the Consent 

Decree with Respect to TESI modifies 

the plan and schedule whereby TESI 

would bring the STPs it purchased into 

compliance with the CWA. The 

proposed Agreement and Order 

Regarding Modification of the Consent 

Decree with Respect to TESI also 

modifies the stipulated penalties 

provisions of the 2000 Consent Decree.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Two Consent 

Decrees 

Notice is hereby given that on October 

23, 2007, two proposed Consent Decrees 

were lodged with the United States 

District Court for the Central District of 

California. One Consent Decree was 

lodged in the case United States v. 

Andruss Family Trust, et al., Civil 

Action No. 2:07–cv–06873 FMC (C.D. 

Cal.), and another Consent Decree was 

lodged in the case United States v. 

Abercrombie, et al., Civil Action No. 

2:07–cv–06870 ABC (C.D. Cal.). 

In both cases the United States of 

America (‘‘United States’’), on behalf of 

the Administrator of the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’), and the California Department 

of Toxic Substances Control 

(‘‘Department’’), filed a complaint 

pursuant to Section 107 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 

42 U.S.C. 9607, seeking reimbursement 

of response costs incurred or to be 

incurred for response actions taken in 

connection with the release or 

threatened release of hazardous 

substances at the South El Monte 

Operable Unit of the San Gabriel Valley 

Area 1 Superfund Site in South El 

Monte, Los Angeles County, California 

(the ‘‘South El Monte O.U.’’). 

Under the proposed Consent Decree 

in Abercrombie, 26 potentially 

responsible parties with respect to the 

South El Monte O.U. will pay a total of 

about $3.2 million (collectively). The 

settlement amounts are based on each 

settling defendant’s ability to pay. In 

exchange for the payment, the plaintiffs 

covenant not to sue each settling 

defendant under Section 106 or 107 of 

CERCLA with respect to the South El 

Monte O.U. 

Under the proposed Consent Decree 

in Andruss, there are 13 settling 

defendants. In exchange for prior 

payments of over $5.8 million that have 

been made by these 13 settling 

defendants in reimbursement of costs 

incurred with respect to the interim 

remedy for the South El Monte O.U., the 

plaintiffs covenant not to sue each
