[Federal Register Volume 72, Number 70 (Thursday, April 12, 2007)] [Notices] [Pages 18492-18493] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 07-1814] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act In accordance with Department of Justice policy, notice is hereby given that on March 29, 2007, a proposed consent decree (``Consent Decree'') in United States v. Masterwear Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 05-cv-00373, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The Consent Decree would resolve claims for unreimbursed past response costs and projected future response costs incurred by the United States related to the ongoing removal action at the Masterwear Superfund Site (``Site'') in Martinsville, Indiana. Under the Consent Decree, the five defendants (James A. Reed, Linda Lou Mull Reed, Masterwear Corporation, William J. Cure, and Elizabeth J. Cure) named in the United States' complaint would pay a total of $380,000 in past costs and estimated future costs, based on agreements with their insurance companies (the insurance companies are not signatories to the proposed Consent Decree but have private agreements with the defendants to make the payments). The settlement would provide EPA with complete reimbursement for past and projected future costs relating to the removal action. The defendants will remain responsible under a Unilateral Administrative Order dated April 22, 2004 for completing the removal work at the Site, which they also intend to finance with funds from their insurance companies. 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. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to [email protected] or mailed to P.O.
