DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation and Liability Act

Notice is hereby given that on March

9, 1995, a proposed Consent Decree in

United States v. Arrowhead Refining Co.

et al., Civil Action 5–89–202, was

lodged with the United States District

Court for the District of Minnesota. This

consent decree represents a settlement

of claims against 209 parties under the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability

Act of 1980, as amended by the

Superfund Amendments and

Reauthorization Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C.

9601 et seq. (CERCLA).

The consent decree requires 44 parties

(the Settling Defendants) to perform one

component of the remedial action (the

‘‘sludge pit’’ clean-up) at the Arrowhead

Refining Co. Site (the Site) at an

approximate cost of $12.52 million.

These parties have already spent $6.4

million in Site related investigative and

response activities. In addition, the

Settling Defendants are required to pay

an additional $134,800 to federal and

state natural resources trustees for use

in habitat restoration projects.

One hundred and sixty-five other

parties, including De Minimis and De

Micromis parties, ‘‘Hardship’’ parties, a

defunct owner/operator, eight federal

entities, and several oil company

defendants, will contribute financially

to the Settling Defendants’ performance

of the remedial action.

This settlement was part of EPA’s

Mixed Funding Pilot Project. In addition

to the work to be performed by the

Settling Defendants, EPA and the

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency

(MPCA) intend to undertake the

remaining soils and gourndwater

components of the remedial action as

‘‘mixed work.’’ These portions of the

remedy are expected to cost

approximately $6.35 million and $1.0

million, respectively.

The Department of Justice will receive

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

date of this publication comments

relating to the proposed Consent Decree.

Comments should be addressed to the
