Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    In accordance with the policy of the Department of Justice, 28 CFR 
50.7, and 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2)(B), notice is hereby given that a 
proposed Fourth Partial Consent Decree in United States v. City of 
Monterey Park, et al., Civil Action No. 94-8685 KN, was lodged on 
December 29, 1994, with the United States District Court for the

Superfund site in Monterey Park, California.
    Pursuant to the Consent Decree, a group of settling municipalities, 
governmental entities, waste transporters, and industrial waste 
generators will put the proceeds from a settlement those parties have 
reached in a private action into an escrow account set up under this 
consent decree for use for performance of remedial actions at the site, 
and partial reimbursement of past costs. The value of this settlement 
is approximately $54 million.
    As provided in 28 CFR 50.7 and 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2)(B), the
