De Minimis Settlement Under Section

122(g) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation and Liability Act; In the

Matter of Conservation Chemical

Company of Illinois, Gary, IN

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: De Minimis Settlement.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to settle

claims with certain de minimis

potentially responsible parties (PRPs)

regarding past and estimated future

response costs at the Conservation

Chemical Company of Illinois Site in

Gary, Indiana. EPA is authorized under

Section 122(i)(1) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation

and Liability Act of 1980, as amended

(‘‘CERCLA’’) to enter into this

settlement. The U.S. Department of

Justice has approved this de minimis

settlement, consistent with Section

122(g)(4) of CERCLA. Through July 31,

1995, response costs totalling

approximately $5,140,059.38 were

incurred by EPA and certain PRPs in

connection with the Site. It is estimated

that future costs of $10,806,165 will be

required to complete cleanup of the

Site. The settling PRPs will pay

approximately $2,800,000 in settlement

payments for response costs related to

the Conservation Chemical Company of

Illinois Site. EPA is proposing to

approve this de minimis settlement

because it reimburses EPA, in part, for

costs incurred during EPA’s response

activities at this Site.

On February 8, 1996, U.S. EPA sent a

de minimis settlement offer and

Administrative Order by Consent to 171

de minimis PRPs. Approximately 153 of

these PRPs executed binding

certifications of their consent to

participate in the de minimis settlement.

The Administrative Order by Consent

provides for settlement with certain

parties who are, individually,

responsible for less than 1% of the total

volume of hazardous substances sent to

the Site. Settling de minimis PRPs will

be required to pay their fair share of the

past and estimated future response costs

at the Site, based on $1.01 per gallon of

hazardous substances that the PRP

contributed to the Site; there is a

minimum settlement payment amount

of $50.00. The de minimis settlement

includes a premium of 100% assessed

against estimated future response costs

to account for potential cost overruns,

the potential for failure of the selected

response action to clean up the Site, and

other risks. The de minimis settlement
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 12, 1996 / Notices 29755

also provides for the settling de minimis

PRPs to receive credits against their base

de minimis settlement amounts, for any

properly documented prior payments

made by the de minimis PRPs to the

group of major PRPs who previously did

work at the Site. Pursuant to the

Agency’s de minimis settlement offer,

numerous settling de minimis PRPs

have appropriately documented their

prior payments and applied for credits.

Subsequently, EPA has amended

Appendix D to the Consent Order to

reflect the amount of all credits

approved by EPA, and the final revised

individual de minimis settlement

amounts.

DATES: Comments on this de minimis

settlement must be received within 30

days from publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Written comments relating

to this de minimis settlement, Docket
