ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5336-8]


Proposed Settlements Pursuant to Sections 122(h) and 122(g) of 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed administrative settlements and opportunity 
for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as 
amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(i), the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), Region II, announces proposed 
administrative settlements pursuant to Sections 122(h) and 122(g) of 
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g),(h), relating to the Quanta Resources 
Syracuse Superfund Site (``Site''). The Site is located at 2802-2810 
Lodi Street, Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York. This notice is being 
published pursuant to Section 122(i) of CERCLA to inform the public of 
the proposed settlements and of the opportunity to comment. EPA will 
consider any comments received during the comment period and may 
withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed settlements if comments 
disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the proposed 
settlements are inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
    The proposed administrative settlements have been seperately 
memorialized in an Administrative Cost Recovery Agreement and an 
Administrative Order on Consent between EPA and eighty-eight ORC-
settling parties (``Respondents''). These administrative settlements 
will become effective after the close of the public comment period, 
unless comments received disclose facts or considerations which 
indicate that these agreements are inappropriate, improper or 
inadequate, and EPA, in accordance with Section 122(i)(3) of CERCLA, 
modifies or withdraws its consent to this Agreement. Under these 
administrative settlements, the Respondents will be obligated to pay an 
aggregate of approximately $500,000 to the Hazardous Substance 
Superfund in reimbursement of EPA's response costs relating to the 
Site.
    Pursuant to CERCLA Section 122(g)(4) &(h)(1), the administrative 
settlements may not be issued without the prior written approval of the 
Attorney General or her designee. In accordance with that requirement, 
the Attorney General or her designee has approved the proposed 
administrative settlements in writing.
    EPA intends to settle with other potentially responsible parties 
concerning reimbursement of EPA's remaining response costs.

DATES: Comments must be provided on or before January 2, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Office of Regional Counsel, New York/Caribbean 
Superfund Branch, 17th Floor, 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007

EPA Index No. II-CERCLA-95-0223 and Index No. II-CERCLA-95-0224''. For
