Proposed CERCLA Administrative Settlement Agreement--Service
First Barrel and Drum Site, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, UT
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice and request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of section 122(h)(1) of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1), notice is hereby
given of the proposed administrative settlement under section 122(h) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(h), concerning the Service First Barrel and Drum
site between EPA, and Miguel A. Alpizar and Sylvia P. Orozco
(``Settling Parties''). The Service First Barrel and Drum Site, is
located at 1066 South Redwood Road, in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake
County, Utah (the ``Site''). The settlement, embodied in the proposed
Administrative Settlement Agreement, EPA Docket No. CERCLA-8-2001-05
(``Agreement''), is designed to resolve the Settling Parties''
liability at the Site through a covenant not to sue for all response
costs incurred and to be incurred in connection with removal activities
at the Site.
Miguel A. Alpizar and Sylvia P. Orozco are the owners of one of the
parcels of land which comprise the Site. Settling Parties purchased the
parcel of land where a former drum cleaning and reconditioning business
had been conducted. At the time of purchase, and pursuant to the Real
Estate Purchase Contract, the seller agreed to take full responsibility
for any and all necessary remediation procedures required to cleanup
any contamination on the property. The proposed Agreement is a cash-out
of the Settling Parties' liability under section 107(a)(1) of CERCLA,
42 U.S.C. 9607(a)(1). Under the terms of the proposed Agreement, the
Settling Parties agree to grant access to all parties conducting
removal activities at the Site and will reimburse the United States the
sum of $2,000. In exchange, the Settling Parties will settle their
liability for all response costs incurred at the Site in connection
with the planned removal activities and will receive contribution
protection from other parties associated with the Site.
OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENT: For thirty (30) days following the date of
publication of this notice, the Agency will consider all comments
received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the settlement if
comments received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that
the settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The Agency's
response to any comments received will be available for public
inspection at the EPA Superfund Record Center, 999 18th Street, 5th
Floor, in Denver, Colorado.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before June 29, 2001.
ADDRESSES: The proposed settlement and additional background
information relating to the settlement are available for public
inspection at the EPA Superfund Records Center, 999 18th Street, 5th
Floor, in Denver, Colorado. Comments and requests for a copy of the
proposed settlement should be addressed to Carol Pokorny, Enforcement
