Settlement Under Section 122(h) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; In the Matter 
of Waukegan Paint and Lacquer Company, Inc., Waukegan, IL

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Settlement of CERCLA Section 107 Cost Recovery Matter.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to settle a cost recovery claim with certain 
potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with regard to past costs at the 
Waukegan Paint and Lacquer Company, Inc. Site in Waukegan, Illinois. 
EPA is authorized under Section 122(h) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as 
amended (``CERCLA'') to enter into this administrative settlement.
    Response costs totalling $165,118 were incurred by EPA in 
connection with an emergency removal action at the Waukegan Paint and 
Lacquer Site. On February 23, 1995, U.S. EPA sent the PRPs a demand for 
reimbursement of the Agency's past costs. The Settling Parties have 
agreed to pay $94,000 to settle EPA's claim for reimbursement of 
response costs related to the Site. EPA is proposing to approve this 
administrative settlement because it reimburses EPA, in part, for costs 
incurred during its response activities at this Site.

no later than July 15, 1996.
