DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed de minimis consent decree in United States 
v. Buffalo Air Handling et al., Civil Action No. 95-0053-L, was lodged 
on September 29, 1995 with the United States District Court for the 
Western District of Virginia. The proposed consent decree resolves 
claims under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 Sec. 9607, against certain de 
minimis waste contributors for reimbursement of response costs incurred 
and to be incurred by the United States at the 

[[Page 53803]]
Buckingham County Landfill Superfund Site in Buckingham County, 
Virginia. Between 1977 and 1982, each of the de minimis defendants 
arranged for the disposal at the Site of hazardous wastes, including 
paint wastes and other wastes containing toluene, chromium, arsenic, 
barium and other volatile organic compounds (``VOCs'') and metals. The 
proposed consent decree requires the de minimis defendants to pay the 
United States $471,042, which equals 100% of their share of past 
response costs at the Site, plus a 160% premium on these future costs.
    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, D.C. 20530, and should refer to

accordance with Section 7003(d) of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6923(d), commenters can also request a public 
meeting in the affected area.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, 105 Franklin Road, S.W., Suite 1, Roanoke, 
Virginia 24011; the Region III Office of the Environmental Protection 
Agency, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107; and at
