DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. A.F.F. 
McQuay, et al., Case No. 3,95-2023-0 was lodged on June 30, 1995, with 
the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. 
This settlement agreement resolves the claims asserted by the United 
States in an enforcement action brought on behalf of the Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA'') against 30 Potentially Responsible Parties 
(``PRPs'') (referred to as the ``SEPCO Group'') pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. The complaint alleges defendants 
are liable for CERCLA response costs incurred and to be incurred by the 
United States at the ``Carolawn Superfund Site,'' an approximately 60-
acre property with an abandoned waste storage and disposal facility 
located near Fort Lawn, South Carolina. The Site was owned and operated 
as a waste storage and disposal facility by the now defunct Carolawn 
Company, Southeastern Pollution Control Company (``SEPCO''), and other 
prior owner/operators. Under the Consent Decree, the SEPCO Group shall 
pay $292,500 (63%) of the $465,000 in outstanding identified response 
costs associated with the remedial actions at the 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 for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,

United States v. A.F.F. McQuay, et al., 90-11-2-1A.
    The proposed Consent Decree may be examined at the office of the 
United States Attorney, 1441 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina, the 
Region IV office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 345 
Courtland Street, NE, Atlanta, GA 30365, and at the Consent Decree 
Library, 1120 G Street, N.W., 4th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20005, (202)
