FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Clarizio, Office of Regional Counsel, at (312) 886-0559. 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. [FR Doc. 96-24586 Filed 9-24-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-M
