Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to 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 proposed consent decree in United States v. 
Solvents Recovery Service of New England, Inc., et al., Civil Actions 
Nos. -79-704 & H-90-598 (JAC) was lodged on July 1, 1994, with the 
Untied States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The 
complaint in this action (1) seeks to recover, pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9601 et seq., response costs incurred and 
to be incurred by EPA at the Solvents Recovery Service Superfund Site 
located in Southington Township, Connecticut (``Site''), and (2) seeks 
injunctive relief and civil penalties under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S. C. 6901, et seq.
    The proposed Consent Decree embodies an agreement by Solvents 
Recovery Service of New England Inc., SRS, Inc. and Carleton Boll 
(``Settling Defendants''): (1) To reimburse EPA and the State of 
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection for a portion of 
their past and future response costs at the Site; (2) to pay partial 
damages to the Department of the Interior (``DOI'') for injury to, 
destruction of, or loss of natural resources at the Site under the 
trusteeship of DOI; (3) to provide EPA, and any person acting pursuant 
to a consent order or administrative order regarding the performance of 
response actions at the Site, with access to property owned by SRSNE 
for purposes of performing all response actions at the Site; and (4) 
upon the completion of the remedy, to sell their presently contaminated 
property and pay the proceeds to EPA. The Consent Decree also provides 
the Settling Defendants with a release for civil liability for both 
EPA's past and future CERCLA response costs and natural resource 
damages at the Site for resources under the trusteeship of the 
Department of the Interior (``DOI'') and the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (``NOAA'').
