DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')

    In accordance with Departmental policy, notice is hereby given that 
a proposed consent decree in United States v. Wauconda Sand & Gravel 
Co., was lodged on December 23, 1993 with the United States District 
Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The proposed consent 
decree would resolve civil claims that the United States has asserted 
against 17 defendants under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, for 
reimbursement of response costs incurred in connection with the 
Wauconda Sand & Gravel Site in Lake County, Illinois.
    The proposed consent decree requires defendants to pay $566,448.15 
to the Hazardous Substances Superfund as reimbursement for response 
costs incurred at the Site through March 31, 1989. Under the proposed 
decree, this sum will be paid in two installments, the last of which is 
due within 180 days after entry of the consent decree. The proposed 
consent decree also requires defendants to reimburse oversight costs 
incurred by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S. 
EPA'') after March 31, 1992 in monitoring compliance with a December 
19, 1989 administrative order issued pursuant to section 106 of CERCLA, 
42 U.S.C. 9606. In addition, the proposed consent decree provides that 
defendants will reimburse any costs incurred by the United States in 
enforcing terms of the decree.
