DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 C.F.R. 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed consent decree in

United States v. Amercian Cyanamid, et

al., Civil Action No. 2:93–0654

(S.D.W.V.), was lodged on April 24,

1996 with the United States District

Court for the Southern District of West

Virginia.

In the consent decree, the United

States settles with 53 parties and

various corporate affiliates. Those

parties will reimburse $19.26 million of

the United States’ past costs and

perform future soil and groundwater

clean-up and closure of an old

wastewater treatment plant provided

that the clean-ups to be selected are

premised upon projected future

industrial use of the Site and that the

estimates of future costs contained in

the EPA Records of Decision not exceed

respective thresholds of $45 million for

soil and groundwater remediation, and

$14 million for the clean-up of the

wastewater treatment plant. One

defendant, Chemical Associates,

separately agrees to reimburse $350,000

of the United States’ response costs.

Moreover, in the consent decree, the

claims of certain defendants in this

action against OHM Remediation

Services, Corp. are released and

resolved. The United States also releases

its claims under Sections 106 and 107

of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9607 and 9606,

and Section 7003 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.

§ 6973, against OHM at the Site. OHM

in turn releases its cost recovery claims

and covenants not to sue the United

States for claims that were or could have

been asserted in this action by any party

to the case arising from response actions

at the Site.

The State of West Virginia, on behalf

of the West Virginia Department of

Environmental Protection (‘‘State’’), also

is a party to the decree, receiving

$1,150,000 in past costs over five years,

future oversight costs of $30,000 per

year, and $150,000 to resolve state

claims for natural resources damages

from the settling parties.

The decree also resolves the liability

of the United States, on behalf of the

Department of Defense, in the case. The

United States will pay for portions of

four remedy components associated

with the WWI era, for a projected total

United States payment of approximately

$12 million, depending on precise

future remedy costs. The decree resolves

also the liability of Hercules, the

operator of the WWI plant, which will

pay $156,790 toward future clean-up of

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 proposed

partial consent decree. Comments

should be addressed to the Assistant

Attorney General for the Environment

and Natural Resources Division,

Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.

20530, and should refer to United States

v. American Cyanamid, et at. Civil

Action No. 2:93–0654 (S.D.W.V.), DOJ

Ref. #90–11–3–706. Commenters may

request an opportunity for a public

meeting in the affected area, in

accordance with Section 7003(d) of

RCRA.
