Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on September 3, 1999, a proposed 
Partial Consent Decree (``Consent Decree'') in United States v. Johnnie 
Williams, et al., Civil Action No. 98-2704-MI-BRE was lodged with the 
United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.
    In this action, the United States sought reimbursement of past 
response costs under section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a). The costs were incurred with respect 
to the W & R Drum Site located at 1492 Grimes Place, Memphis, Shelby 
County, Tennessee (the ``Site''). W & R Drum used the Site to 
recondition drums that originally contained printing inks, paints, 
solvents, and other hazardous substances. W & R Drum's operations left 
behind contaminated soil and approximately 27,000 drums. Under the 
proposed settlement, defendant Lilly Industries, Inc. has agreed to pay 
a total of $560,000 in reimbursement of the United States' past 
response costs.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Consent 
Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General 
of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of 
Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United States v. 
Johnnie Williams, et al., Civil Action No. 98-2704-MI-BRE, D.J. Ref. 
90-11-2-1351.
    The Consent Decree may be examined at the Office of the United 
States Attorney, 167 North Main Street, Suite 800, Memphis, Tennessee 
38103, and at U.S. EPA Region 4, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth
