DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Notice of Consent Decree in Action Brought Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 
and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a Partial Consent Decree in United States v. Boeing 
Company, Civil Action No. C 94-746 WD, was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Western District of Washington on May 16, 
1994. This Consent Decree settles an action filed by the United States 
pursuant to sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9606 
and 9607, and section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S.C. 6973, naming The Boeing Company (``Boeing'') 
as defendant.
    The United States Department of Justice (``the United States'') 
brought this action on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, for reimbursement of past costs and future oversight costs in 
connection with the Queen City Farms Site (``the Site''). The United 
States also sought to obtain injunctive relief against defendant.
    The United States' claims are based on the contamination of the 
Site resulting from the disposal of industrial waste liquids which 
contained hazardous substances. The United States alleges in its 
Complaint that Boeing disposed of, or arranged for the disposal of 
hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, or materials which contained 
hazardous substances at the Site.
    In this settlement, the Consent Decree provides for Boeing to 
reimburse the Superfund for past costs totaling $566,027.14. Boeing 
will also pay the United States' future oversight costs at the Site, 
and will implement the injunctive relief outlined in the Consent 
Decree.
    The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to 
this proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30) days from the date of 
publication of this notice. Please address comments to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Department of Justice, P.O. Box 7611, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, 
DC 20044 and refer to United States v. Boeing Company, DOJ number 90-
11-3-1150.
