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

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,
