Proposed CERCLA Prospective Purchaser Agreement for the Rock 
Island Plating Works Site

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``USEPA'').

ACTION: Proposal of CERCLA Prospective Purchaser Agreement for the Rock 
Island Plating Works Site.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et 
seq., as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 
1986 (``SARA''), Pub. L. 99-499, notice is hereby given that a proposed 
prospective purchaser agreement (``PPA'') for the Rock Island Plating 
Works Site (``the Site'') located in Rock Island, Illinois, has been 
executed by the City of Rock Island. The proposed PPA has been 
submitted to the Attorney General for approval. The proposed PPA would 
resolve certain potential claims of the United States under Sections 
106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, against the City of 
Rock Island. The proposed PPA would require the City of Rock Island to 
pay the United States $3,990 to be applied toward outstanding response 
costs incurred by the United States in conducting federally funded 
removal activities at the Site. The Site is not on the NPL. EPA will 
complete the removal action in August 1997. EPA does not anticipate 
taking further remedial action at the Site after the completion of the 
removal action.
