Correction of Typographical Error in Final Settlement Payment 
Amount for One Settling De Minimis Party and Correction of Calculation 
of Final De Minimis Settlement Payment Amounts for Two Settling De 
Minimis Parties; In the Matter of Conservation Chemical Company of 
Illinois, Inc., Gary, Indiana; Docket No. V-W-96-C-337

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: On August 30, 1996, EPA entered into a final de minimis 
settlement with 153 de minimis potentially responsible parties (PRPs), 
pursuant to Section 122(g) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), for 
past and estimated future response costs at the Conservation Chemical 
Company of Illinois Site in Gary, Indiana (``the CCCI Site''). 
Subsequently, EPA discovered a typographical error with regard to the 
final settlement amount stated for Jones Chemical, Inc., one of the 
settling de minimis PRPs listed in Appendix D to the Administrative 
Order on Consent, Docket Number: V-W-96-C-337 (``the de minimis Consent 
Order''). In addition, EPA received information that verified that 
Appleton Electric Company and Doehler-Jarvis, two settling PRPs, were 
entitled to credits under the terms of the de minimis Consent Order 
that reduced the amount of their initial calculated settlement payment 
amounts. EPA is giving notice that it intends to correct the 
typographical error in Appendix D with regard to Jones Chemical and 
correct the calculation of the final settlement amounts for Appleton 
Electric Company and Doehler-Jarvis to account for the verified 
credits. These corrections do not impact the interests of the other 
settling de minimis PRPs.
