AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA).

ACTION: Proposed De Minimis Settlement.

SUMMARY: U.S. EPA is proposing to settle a claim under Section 122 of 
CERCLA with Beloit College, a de minimis potentially responsible party, 
for past costs and costs that will be incurred during removal and 
remedial activities at the MIG DeWane Landfill Site in Belvidere, 
Illinois. The Respondent has agreed to pay a total of $30,000.00. The 
money will be used to reimburse the U.S. EPA for past costs and 
oversight costs which will be incurred during actions to be taken at 
the site. This action is being taken to settle all liability related to 
the MIG DeWane Landfill Site with this Respondent pursuant to the 
intent of Section 122(g) of CERCLA, as amended.

thirty (30) days from the publication of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MIG DeWane Landfill received industrial 
and solid wastes, some of which contained hazardous substances, from 
1969 to 1988. The Landfill was placed on the National Priorities List 
on August 30, 1990. U.S. EPA entered into an administrative consent 
order for removal action at the Site with various responsible parties 
on March 29, 1991. U.S. EPA entered into a de minimis settlement with 
other responsible parties on May 15, 1995. Beloit College was not a 
signatory to either agreement.
    Beloit College is a potentially responsible party who may have 
arranged for disposal of hazardous substances at the MIG DeWane 
Landfill Site. Beloit College's share of the waste delivered to the 
site is believed not to exceed 0.2% of the total waste delivered to the 
site.
    A 30-day period, beginning on the date of publication of today's 
notice, is open pursuant to Section 122(I) of CERCLA for comments on 
the proposed settlement with this Respondent.
William E. Muno,
Director, Superfund Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region V.
