AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency is proposing 
to enter into an Agreement that will settle a section 106(b) Petition 
that Hercules filed in 1997 pursuant to section 122 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1) concerning the Valley Chemical Superfund 
Site in Greenville, Washington County, Mississippi. In the Agreement, 
Hercules agrees to drop its section 106(b) Petition in exchange for 
addressing past costs at three other sites in Region 4. The sites are 
the Terry Creek Dredge Spoil Area/Hercules Outfall Superfund Site 
located in Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia; the Hercules 009 Landfill 
Superfund Site located in Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia; and the 
T.H. Agriculture & Nutrition Company Superfund Site located in Albany, 
Dougherty County, Georgia. EPA will consider public comments on the 
proposed settlement until November 1, 2004. EPA may withdraw from or 
modify the proposed settlement should such comments disclose facts or 
considerations which indicate the proposed settlement is inappropriate, 
improper or inadequate. Copies of the proposed settlement are available 
from: Ms. Paula V. Batchelor, U.S. EPA, Region 4, (WMD-SEIMB), 61 
Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-8887, 
[email protected].

calendar days of the date of this publication.
