DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environment Response Compensation and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on February 6, 2001 a proposed partial 
consent decree in the action entitled United States v. Woodward Metal 
Processing, Corp. et al., Civil Action No. 98-2736 (JWB/GDH), was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the District of New 
Jersey.
    In this action, the United States sought the recovery of response 
costs incurred in connection with a removal action at the Woodward 
Metal Processing Corporation Site, located at 125 Woodward Street, 
Jersey City, New Jersey (``Site''), pursuant to section 107 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607. The proposed consent decree, if entered 
by the Court, would resolve the claim of the United States against 
Defendant Eugene B. Rosenburg (``Settling Defendant'') and, together 
with other pending settlements, would resolve this action in its 
entirety. Under the proposed consent decree, Settling Defendant would 
pay the United States $35,000 in three installments of $25,000, $5,000 
and $5,000 over two years, plus interest. That amount, together with 
the response costs already recovered by the United States in 
settlements with other parties would increase the United States' total 
recovery at the Site to approximately 86% of total response costs.
    The U.S. Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty 
(30) days from the date of publication of this Notice, comments 
relating to the proposed consent decree. Any comments should be 
addressed to the Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and 
Natural Resources Division, U.S. Department of Justice, P.O. Box 7611, 
Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should reference the following case name 
and number: United States v. Woodward Metal Processing Corp., et al., 
DJ # 90-11-2-1299/1.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the offices of EPA 
Region II, located at 290 Broadway, New York, New York. A copy of the 
proposed consent decree may also be obtained by mail from the Consent 
Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, 
DC 20044-7611. In requesting a copy, please enclose a check in the
