Notice of Proposed Administrative

Settlement Pursuant to Section

122(h)(1) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

Regarding the Ramapo Landfill

Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency, (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed

administrative settlements and

opportunity for public comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section

122(i) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of

1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42

U.S.C. 9622(i), the United States

Environmental Protection Agency

(‘‘EPA’’), Region II announces a

proposed administrative settlement

pursuant to Section 122(h)(1) of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1) regarding

the Ramapo Landfill Superfund Site (the

‘‘Ramapo Site’’).

The Ramapo Site is located in the

Town of Ramapo, Rockland County,

New York, and is listed on the National

Priorities List established under Section

105 of CERCLA. This notice is being

published pursuant to Section 122(i) of

CERCLA to inform the public of the

proposed settlement and of the

opportunity to comment. EPA will

consider any comments received during

the comment period and may withdraw

or withhold consent to the proposed

settlement if comments disclose facts or

considerations which indicate that the

proposed settlement is inappropriate,

improper or inadequate.

The administrative settlement would

resolve the claims of the United States

against I.S.A. In New Jersey, Inc.

(‘‘ISA’’) and Round Lake Sanitation

Corporation (‘‘Round Lake’’) with

respect to their potential liability for

past costs incurred by EPA pursuant to

CERCLA in responding to the release

and threatened release of hazardous

substances at the Ramapo Site. The

settlement is memorialized in an

Administrative Cost-Recovery

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’). Under the

Agreement, ISA and Round Lake are

obligated to pay $25,000 to the

Hazardous Substances Superfund. The

payment is to be made from an escrow

account established for ISA and Round

Lake as stated below. The settlement is

based on the ability to pay of ISA and

Round Lake in that these corporations

are defunct and have no assets other

than the monies in escrow.

In 1991, ISA, Round Lake, and other

entities and individuals were indicted

by a grand jury empaneled in the United

States District Court for the Southern

District of New York on numerous

federal felony charges. According to a

subsequent plea agreement, the assets of

ISA and Round Lake, and other entities,

were required to be sold to unrelated

third parties. In 1994, the United States

entered into an Agreement and

Covenant Not To Sue under CERCLA

with Browning-Ferris Industries of New

York, Inc.; Browning-Ferris Industries of

Paterson, N.J., Inc.; and Browning-Ferris

Industries of South Jersey, Inc.

(collectively ‘‘BFI’’) regarding BFI’s

prospective purchase of the assets of

ISA, Round Lake, and the other entities.

BFI paid $250,000 to the United States

for an Agreement and Covenant Not To

Sue, of which $5,000 was allocated to

the Ramapo Site, and the balance of

which was allocated to three other

Superfund sites: the Warwick Landfill

Superfund Site in Warwick, New York

(the ‘‘Warwick Site’’) the Hertel Landfill

Superfund Site in the Town of

Plattekill, New York (the ‘‘Hertel Site’’)

and the Kin-Buc Landfill Superfund Site

in Edison Township, New Jersey (the

‘‘Kin-Buc Site’’). BFI completed the

acquisition of the assets of ISA, Round

Lake, and the other entities and, in

connection therewith, ISA and Round

Lake deposited $1,000,000 of the sale

price into an escrow account established

to resolve certain liability to the United

States pursuant to CERCLA at the

Ramapo Site, the Warwick Site, the

Hertel Site and the Kin-Buc Site. The

balance of the proceeds of BFI’s

purchase of the assets of ISA, Round

Lake, and the other entities was used to

pay other obligations of ISA and Round

Lake including $5,000,000 in criminal

fines, forfeitures and costs, $3,500,000

in federal and state tax liability, and

$300,000 of liabilities to other creditors.

The remedial action which has been

selected at the Ramapo Site is being

implemented by a party other than ISA

or Round Lake and the remaining costs

at the Ramapo Site may be recovered

from parties other than ISA or Round

Lake.

Pursuant to CERCLA Section

122(h)(1), the prior written approval of

the Attorney General is required for the

administrative settlement under

CERCLA between EPA and ISA and

Round Lake. In satisfaction of that

requirement, the Attorney General or
2826 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 19 / Monday, January 29, 1996 / Notices

her designee has approved the proposed

settlement in writing.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before February 28, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

addressed to the EPA at the address

listed below, and should refer to

‘‘Ramapo Landfill Superfund Site, EPA

Index No. II CERCLA–95–0214.’’

agreement, or to make an appointment
