Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act 
(CERCLA)

    Notice is hereby given that on July 11, 1995, three proposed 
consent decrees in United States v. Joseph M. Blosenski, Jr., et al., 
Civ. A. No. 93-1976, were lodged with the United States District Court 
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The complaint in this action 
seeks recovery of costs and injunctive relief under Sections 106 and 
107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
Liability Act (``CERCLA''), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and 
Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99-499, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9606, 
9607(a). This action involves the Blosenski Landfill Superfund Site in 
West Caln Township, Pennsylvania.
    Under the first proposed Consent Decree, the ``Generator Decree'', 
twenty (20) settling defendants are required to implement future work 
at the Site and pay past costs of approximately $3.175 million. In 
addition, this Consent Decree resolves the United States' penalty 
claims against two of these defendants. The second consent decree, the 
``Blosenski Decree'', is a ``cash-out'' decree which requires a payment 
of $1.1 million and resolves the United States' cost and penalty claims 
against Joseph M. Blosenski, his wife Ada Blosenski and related 
corporations. The third decree, the ``Barry Decree'' is also a ``cash-
out'' decree which requires a payment of $5,000 and resolves the United 
States' cost claims against Alexander Barry.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to these 
proposed consent decrees for a period of thirty days from the date of 
publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to the
