Proposed CERCLA Administrative Order on Consent for the Bountiful
5 Points PCE Plume Site, Bountiful, Davis County, UT
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice and request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of section 122(i) of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act,
as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(I), notice is hereby given of a
proposed Administrative Order on Consent (``AOC'') settlement under
sections 104, 106(a), 107, and 122 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9604, 9606(a),
9607, and 9622, between EPA and Your Valet Cleaners, Inc.
(``Respondent'') regarding Your Valet Cleaners' facility (the
``Facility''). The property which is the subject of this proposed AOC
is a parcel of land approximately \1/8\ acre in size and is located at
1501 South Main Street in Bountiful, Davis County, Utah, defined by EPA
as the Bountiful 5 Points PCE Plume Site (``Site''). This AOC
settlement proposes to compromise a claim the United States has at this
Site for Past and Future Response Costs, as those terms are defined in
the AOC. Respondent is the owner of a parcel of land which has been
impacted by business operations at the Facility and which lies within
the defined boundaries of the Site. Under the terms of the proposed
AOC, Your Valet Cleaners, Inc. agrees to immediately pay $10,000 to EPA
in settlement of its liability for Past Response Costs incurred at the
Site, use best efforts to recover (under relevant insurance policies)
funds to reimburse additional Past Response Costs of $46,031.93, and to
pay Future Response Costs EPA incurs in overseeing the work Respondent
has agreed to perform under the AOC. In exchange, Respondent will be
granted covenants not to sue under sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA,
42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607(a), in regards to reimbursement of Past and
Future Response Costs.
Opportunity for Comment: For thirty (30) days following the date of
publication of this notice, the Agency will consider all comments
received on the Payment of Response Costs portion of the Settlement
only (Section XV) and may modify or withdraw its consent to that
portion of the AOC, 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, 1595 Wynkoop Street, 2nd Floor, in Denver, Colorado.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 20, 2007.
ADDRESSES: The proposed settlement and additional background
information relating to the settlement are available for public
inspection at the EPA Superfund Records Center, 1595 Wynkoop Street,
2nd Floor, in Denver, Colorado. Comments and requests for a copy of the
proposed settlement should be addressed to Carol Pokorny, Enforcement
