DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

    Notice is hereby given that on January 10, 1995, in United States 
v. Seymour Recycling Corp., et al. (Civ. No. IP-80-4567-C), the United 
States lodged a proposed Consent Decree in the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
    In Seymour Recycling, the United States sought recovery of response 
costs incurred by the United States at the Seymour Recycling Superfund 
site located in Seymour, Indiana, as well as performance of remedial 
action at the site. The proposed Decree would resolve the liability of 
Blatz Paint Company, one of the remaining defendants in this case, 
under Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9606 & 9607, 
for recovery of response costs incurred by the United States at the 
Site and for future liability at the Site. Almost all other parties in 
Seymour Recycling have resolved their liability to the United States 
under prior cost recovery or remedial action settlements.
    Under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree, Blatz Paint Company 
will pay the United States $30,000 in return for covenants not to sue 
for past and future CERCLA liability at the Seymour Recycling Superfund 
Site.
    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, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, 
and should refer to United States v. Seymour Recycling Corp., et al., 
DOJ Ref. #62-26S-19.
    The proposed Consent Decree may be examined at the office of the 
United States Attorney, Southern District of Indiana, 46 East Ohio 
Street (5th floor), Indianapolis, Indiana, and at the offices of the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Office of Regional 
Counsel, 200 West Adams (29th Floor), Chicago, Illinois. Copies of the 
proposed Consent Decree may be obtained in person or by mail from the 
Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, N.W., 4th Floor, Washington, 
D.C. 20005, (202) 624-0892. In requesting a copy, please enclose a 
check in the amount of $3.00 (25 cents per page reproduction costs), 
payable to the ``Consent Decree Library.''
