DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Pursuant to the Safe 
Drinking Water Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Partial Consent Decree in United States v. 
Perry Phillips, et al., Civil Action No. 95-5578 (E.D. Pa.), was lodged 
on September 27, 1996 with the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The proposed Partial Consent Decree 
resolves injunctive relief claims of the United States and the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the Safe Drinking Water Act 
(``Act'') in a Complaint filed September 6, 1995 against Perry Phillips 
and Jeanne Phillips doing business as the Perry Phillips Mobile Home 
Park, which owns and operates a water system for approximately sixty 
residents of the Perry Phillips Mobile Home Park near Coatesville, 
Pennsylvania. The Complaint alleged violations of the maximum 
contaminant levels set forth in regulations implementing the Act for 
several volatile organic compounds detected in the water system for the 
mobile home park.
    The proposed Partial Consent Decree requires Perry and Jeanne 
Phillips to construct a groundwater remediation system, to sample for 
volatile organic compounds on a monthly basis, and to notify EPA, the 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (``PADEP'') and the 
residents of the park of any violations of the Act or implementing 
regulations. The Partial Consent Decree reserves the rights of the 
United States and PADEP to seek a civil penalty at a later time.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed Partial Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the

Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC, 20530, and should

4151.
    The proposed Partial Consent Decree may be examined at the Office 
of the United States Attorney, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 615 
Chestnut Street, Suite 1250, Philadelphia, PA 19106; the Region III 
Office of the Environmental Protection Agency, 941 Chestnut Street,
