SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: From 1981 to 1983, Detroit Lead Recyclers, a
partnership doing business as Battery Recyclers of Detroit and Battery
Recyclers of Toledo, operated the 2.75 acre site as a battery recycling
facility. The site is located at 5715 Angola Road, Toledo, Lucas
County, Ohio, in a mixed residential/industrial area. While in
operation, the Lead Battery Recycler site received batteries from
numerous locations and companies for recycling. The facility has been
closed since 1983.
The Respondent, Dallas and Mavis Forwarding Co., Inc. arranged for
disposal of spent batteries at the Lead Battery Recycler site. The
Respondent's share of the waste delivered to the site is believed not
to exceed 1.0% of the total waste delivered to the site. A similar
settlement agreement for four other de minimis responsible parties was
noticed in the Federal Register on August 24, 1994.
A 30-day period, beginning on the date of publication of today's
notice, is open pursuant to Section 122(i) of CERCLA for comments on
the proposed settlement with this Respondent.
William E. Muno,
Director, Waste Management Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region V.
