[Federal Register Volume 70, Number 55 (Wednesday, March 23, 2005)] [Notices] [Pages 14715-14716] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 05-5767] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act Under 42 U.S.C. section 9622(d)(2) and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on March 2, 2005, a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc., Civil Action Number 3:05cv00128, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The consent decree resoles claims against Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc. (``WMWI'') on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') under sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, for response action to be taken and response costs to be incurred in responding to the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the City Disposal Corporation Landfill Superfund Site (``Site'') in the Town of Dunn, Dane County, Wisconsin. WMWI has been performing the remedial action for the site under a unilateral administrative order issued by EPA. Under the consent decree, WMWI will complete performance of the Site remedy and will reimburse the United States for response costs the United States will incur it the site. The consent decree also provides for disbursement to WMWI, if specified conditions are met, of approximately $1.97 million credited to the site from the proceeds of a prior, separate settlement in In re U.E. Systems, Inc., et al., No. 91-32791 (Bankr. N.D. Ind.). The U.E. Systems settlement required that amounts recovered therein ``shall reduce the liability of the non-settling potentially responsible parties * * * by the amount of the credit.'' The proposed consent decree with WMWI will implement that provision of the U.E. Systems settlement while also providing the United States with full recovery of [[Page 14716]] all response costs incurred or to be incurred by the United States in connection with the Site. The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the Consent Decree.
