given of proposed de minimis settlement agreements under section 
122(g)(4), 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)(4), concerning the Reclaim Barrel Site in 
Salt Lake County, Utah (the ``Site''). The proposed Administrative 
Orders on Consent (AOC) require the settling parties, identified in the 
attached table entitled ``Settling Parties & Amounts'', to pay a total 
of $147,784 to resolve their liability for response costs incurred and 
to be incurred by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(``EPA'') in connection with the remediation of the Reclaim Barrel 
Site.

DATES: Comments must be submitted to EPA on or before September 15, 
1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Matthew Cohn, (8ENF-L), 
Senior Enforcement Attorney, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Matthew Cohn, (8ENF-L), Senior Enforcement Attorney, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, 
Colorado 80202-2466, (303) 312-6853.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of section 122(g)(4), 42 U.S.C. 
9622(g)(4), Administrative Order on Consent De Minimis Settlements: In 
accordance with section 122(g)(4) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)(4), 
notice is hereby given that the terms of 42 Administrative Orders on 
Consent (AOC) for a de minimis settlement have been agreed to by the 
settling parties identified in the attached table.
    By the terms of the proposed AOCs, the de minimis settling parties 
will collectively pay $147,784 to the EPA Hazardous Substance 
Superfund. In exchange for payment, as provided for by CERCLA, each 
settling party will receive a covenant not to sue for liability under 
sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607(a), and 
contribution protection under section 122(g) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 
9622(g).
    The amount that each individual settling party will pay is directly 
related to the amount of hazardous substances that party contributed to 
the Site, including a premium payment related to future response costs. 
Where adequate proof was provided that drums either did not initially 
contain hazardous substances or drums were properly cleaned prior to 
shipment, EPA removed the party from the waste-in list.
    U.S. EPA will receive, for a period of thirty (30) days from the 
date of this publication, comments relating to the proposed 
administrative de minimis settlement agreements.
    A generic copy of the proposed AOCs may be obtained in person or by 
mail from Sharon Abendschan, Enforcement Specialist (ENF-T), 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 
500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466, (303) 312-6957. Additional background 
information relating to the administrative settlement agreement is 
available for review at the Superfund Records Center at the above 
address.

Assistant Regional Administrator, Office of Enforcement, Compliance and
