Administrative De Minimis Settlement

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 122(i) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended 
(CERCLA) and section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
(RCRA), EPA is hereby providing notice of a proposed administrative de 
minimis settlement concerning the Casmalia Resources Superfund Site in 
Santa Barbara County, California (the Casmalia Resources Site). Section 
122(g) of CERCLA provides EPA with the authority to enter into 
administrative de minimis settlements. This settlement is intended to 
resolve the liabilities of the 337 settling parties identified below 
for the Casmalia Resources Site under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA 
and section 7003 of RCRA. These parties have also elected to resolve 
their liability for response costs and potential natural resource 
damage claims by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These 
337 parties sent 15,558,106 lbs. of waste to the Casmalia Resources 
Site, which represents 0.0028 (0.28%) of the total Site waste of 5.6 
billion pounds. This settlement requires these parties to pay over $1.4 
million to EPA.

DATES: EPA will receive written comments relating to the settlement 
until April 23, 2015. EPA will consider all comments it receives during 
this period, and may modify or withdraw consent to the settlement if 
any comments disclose facts or considerations indicating that the 
settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
    Public Meeting: In accordance with section 7003(d) of RCRA, 42 
U.S.C. 6973(d), commenters may request an opportunity for a public 
meeting in the affected area. The deadline for requesting a public 
meeting is April 7, 2015. Requests for a public meeting may be made by 
contacting Russell Mechem by email at Mechem.russell@epa.gov. If a 
public meeting is requested, information about the date and time of the 
meeting will be published in the local newspaper, The Santa Maria 
Times, and will be sent to persons on the EPA's Casmalia Resources Site 
mailing list. To be added to the mailing list, please contact:
