Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

Notice is hereby given that on August 

21, 2008, a proposed Consent Decree 

(the ‘‘Decree’’) in United States v. City 

of Newburgh, et al., Civil Action No. 08 

Civ. 7378 (SCR), was lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

Southern District of New York. 

The Decree resolves the claims of the 

United States, on behalf of the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’), under Sections 107 and 113 of 

the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 9607 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 27, 2008 / Notices 50643 

and 9613, against the City of Newburgh 

(‘‘Newburgh’’), Connell Limited 

Partnership (‘‘Connell’’), International 

Business Machines Corporation 

(‘‘IBM’’), Northrop Grumman Ship 

Systems, Inc. (‘‘Northrop’’), and the City 

of Poughkeepsie (‘‘Poughkeepsie’’) 

(collectively, the ‘‘Defendants’’), relating 

to the Consolidated Iron and Metal 

Company Superfund Site (the ‘‘Site’’), 

located in the City of Newburgh, Orange 

County, New York. The Site is a former 

junkyard and scrap metal processing 

facility that was operated by 

Consolidated Iron and Metal Company, 

Inc. (‘‘Consolidated’’) from the 1950s 

until 1999. 

In a complaint filed simultaneously 

with the Decree, the United States 

alleged that Consolidated, in the course 

of processing scrap metal materials, 

contaminated the Site with hazardous 

substances, including lead, 

polychlorinated biphenyls and volatile 

organic compounds. Consolidated is 

now a defunct company. Newburgh 

acquired ownership of the Site in 2004. 

According to the complaint, Newburgh, 

Poughkeepsie and IBM each arranged 

for transport of various types of waste 

containing hazardous substances to the 

Site. The complaint further charged that 

wastes were transported to the Site by 

Luria Brothers and Company, of which 

Connell and Northrop are alleged 

successors in interest. 

Pursuant to the Decree, the 

Defendants will pay EPA a total of 

$12,000,000 over a two-year period to 

resolve their respective liabilities at the 

Site. Four other potentially responsible 

parties who are not named defendants 

in the case—Consolidated Rail 

Corporation, Eisner Brothers, Inc., Ford 

Motor Company, and Kraft Foods 

Global, Inc.—will pay EPA an 

additional $62,000 pursuant to the 

Decree and resolve their potential 

liability at 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 

Decree. Comments should be addressed

Notice is hereby given that on August 

21, 2008, a proposed consent decree in 

United States and the State of Illinois v. 

Crane Composites, Inc., No. 08cv4735,

In this civil action brought pursuant

United States sought to prevent the 

emission of volatile organic material 

(‘‘VOM’’) in excess of limits imposed by 

the Illinois State Implementation Plan 

and the facility’s air emission permit 

issued under Title V of the Act from the 

Crane Composites, Inc. fiberglass 

reinforced plastics manufacturing 

facility in Channahon, Will County, 

Illinois. The State of Illinois joined this 

action as co-plaintiff asserting the same 

claims under the equivalent state laws 

and regulations. Under the proposed 

consent decree, Crane Composites will 

install a permanent total enclosure to 

capture 100% of its off-gases from its 

production lines and route those gases 

to a regenerative thermal oxydizer that 

will destroy 95% of the VOM and 

hazardous air pollutants before release 

to the atmosphere. Under the proposed 

consent decree, defendant will pay a 

total of $1,000,000 in civil penalties, 

divided between the United States 

(which will receive $800,000) and the 

State of Illinois. In addition, the 

proposed consent decree will resolve 

Crane Composites’ past obligations 

under the Illinois Emission Reduction 

Market System with a payment to the 

State of no more than $150,000. 

The Department of Justice will accept 

comments relating to the four proposed 

consent decrees for a period of thirty 

(30) days from the date of publication of
