DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    Notice is hereby given that on August 4, 2000 a proposed partial 
consent decree in the action entitled United States v. Woodward Metal 
Processing, Corp. et al., Civil Action No. 98-2736 (JWB/GDH), was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the District of New 
Jersey.
    In this action, the United States sought the recovery of response 
costs incurred in connection with a removal action at the Woodard Metal 
Processing Corporation Site, located at 125 Woodward Street, Jersey 
City, New Jersey (``Site''), pursuant to Section 107 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9607. The proposed consent decree, if 
entered by the Court, would resolve the claims of the United States 
against Defendant Muriel Rosenberg Fierman (``Settling Defendant''). 
Under the proposed consent decree, Settling Defendant would pay the 
United States $100,000 in five annual installments of $20,000 each, 
plus interest. That amount, together with the response costs already 
recovered by the United States in settlements with other parties, 
equals approximately $1,957.400 of approximately $2,364,500 in total 
response costs incurred by the United States in connection with the 
Site.
    The U.S. Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty 
(30) days from the date of publication of this Notice, comments 
relating to the proposed consent decree. Any comments should be

name and number: United States v. Woodward Metal Processing Corp., et 
al., DJ # 90-11-2-1299/1.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the offices of EPA
