Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    In accordance with Department policy, 28 CFR Sec. 50.7, and with 
Section 122(d)(2) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2), notice 
is hereby given that on November 21, 1994 the United States filed a 
complaint and lodged with the United States District Court for the 
Western District of New York a proposed consent decree in United States 
v. Booth Oil Co., Inc., Civil Action No. 94-CV-0849A(M). The proposed 
consent decree involves the cleanup and reimbursement of response costs 
in connection with the Niagara County Refuse Superfund Site in Niagara 
County, New York. This settlement is between the United States and 
twelve potentially responsible parties (``the Settling Defendants'').
    The agreement requires the Settling Defendants to undertake certain 
remedial work relating to contamination at the Site, as set forth in 
EPA's September 1993 Record of Decision for the Site. The settlement 
also requires the Settling Defendants to pay more than $72,000 of EPA's 
past response costs and all future response costs incurred by the 
United States in connection with the performance of this remedial work.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United 
States v. Booth Oil Co., Inc., DOJ Ref. # 90-11-2-948.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, 138 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, NY 14202; the 
Region II Office of the Environmental Protection Agency, 26 Federal 
Plaza, New York, NY 10278; and the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G 
Street, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 624-0892. A copy of
