DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

 

Lodging of Consent Decrees

    In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2) and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that two proposed consent decrees in United States v. 
DiBiase Salem Realty Trust, et al., Civil Action No. 91-11028-MA, were 
lodged on December 30, 1993 with the United States District Court of 
Massachusetts. The Consent Decrees resolve certain claims of the United 
States against defendant South Essex Sewerage District (``SESD'') and 
Massachusetts Electric Company (``Massachusetts Electric'') under 
Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607, in connection 
with the Salem Acres Superfund Site, a 234.5-acre parcel located 
approximately one quarter mile west of Route 107 in Salem, 
Massachusetts. Under the settlement reflected in the Consent Decree 
with SESD, SESD will pay the United States $460,948 in remedial costs 
incurred prior to March 31, 1993, and will perform the remedial cleanup 
of the sludge lagoons and certain other areas of the Site. Through the 
second Consent Decree, Massachusetts Electric will pay the United 
States $93,237 in remedial costs incurred prior to March 31, 1993, and 
will perform the remedial cleanup of the flyash pile on the Site. Both 
SESD and Massachusetts Electric agree through the settlements to pay 
certain future remedial costs incurred by the United States that are 
not inconsistent with the NCP.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
proposed Consent Decree for 30 days following the publication of this 
Notice. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General 
of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of 
Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United States v.

States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, 1107 John W.
