DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice 
is hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. AAF 
McQuay, Inc., 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, 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United 
States v. AAF McQuay, Inc., 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, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 
624-0892. A copy of the proposed Consent Decree may be obtained in
