DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Settlement Under the Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that, on December 22, 2006, a proposed 
settlement in U.S. v. Johnson & Johnson, et al., Civil Action No. 06-
6077, was lodged with the United States District Court for the District 
of New Jersey.
    In this action the United States seeks a judgment of liability 
against eleven defendants and an order requiring the defendants to 
perform certain response actions selected by EPA as a remedial action 
at the Atlantic Resources Corporation Superfund Site (``ARC Site'') and 
the Horseshoe Road Drum Dump (``HRDD Site'') portion of the Horseshoe 
Road Superfund Site in Sayreville, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The 
United States also seeks reimbursement of EPA's past and future 
response costs incurred or to be incurred in connection with the two 
Sites. The eleven defendants (``Defendants'') and one federal 
potentially responsible party, the Department of Defense (``Settling 
Federal Agency''), are parties to the Consent Decree. Pursuant to the 
Consent Decree, the Defendants will perform and the Settling Federal 
Agency will provide its share of the funding for a Remedial Design and 
a Remedial Action at the ARC Site, and a Remedial Design at the HRDD 
Site. The Consent Decree requires the Defendants and the Settling 
Federal Agency to reimburse EPA its past costs incurred at the ARC 
Site, in the amount of $863,579.41, as well as certain of the United 
States' future costs incurred or to be incurred at the two Sites.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)

settlement. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
