DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Settlement Agreement Pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, notice is hereby given that 
a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. AAF McQuay, Inc., et al., 
Case No. 3-95-2032-23 was lodged on March 28, 1997, with the United 
States District Court for the District of South Carolina. The proposed 
consent decree settles certain claims asserted by the United States on 
behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') pursuant 
to Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., 
for costs incurred in response to the release on threatened release of 
hazardous substances at the Hinson Superfund Site (``Site''), located 
near Clover, South Carolina.
    The proposed Consent Decree requires Settling Defendants W.R. Grace 
& Co. and Collins & Aikman Corporation to pay the United States 
$350,000 in reimbursement of certain response costs that the United 
States has incurred for response actions at the Site. A consent decree 
previously entered in this action required another group of settling 
defendants to pay the United States $1,590,000 in reimbursement of 
response costs with respect to the Site.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
