Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    In accordance with Department policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby 
given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States and State of 
Connecticut v. Commercial Auto Body, et al., Civ. No. 399-CV-0470 & 
0472 (JCH), was lodged on March 16, 1999 with the United States 
District Court for the District of Connecticut. The United States' 
complaint seeks to recover, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601, 
et al., past response costs incurred by EPA at the Old Southington 
Landfill Superfund Site located in the Town of Southington, Connecticut 
(``Site'').
    The proposed Consent Decree embodies an agreement with six 
potentially responsible parties (``PRPs'') at the Site to pay $45,537, 
in aggregate, in settlement of claims for past response costs at the 
Site. Of this total, $30,000 will be paid to the United States and 
$15,537 will be paid to two parties who are performing a remedial 
action at the Site. The monies paid to the two performing parties will 
be used to partially fund the remedial action being performed by the 
two performing parties. The proposed Consent Decree provides the six 
settling defendants with a release for civil liability for EPA's and 
the State of Connecticut's (``State's'') past CERCLA response costs at 
the Site.
