Ward Transformer Superfund Site Notice of Prospective Purchaser 
Agreement Raleigh, Wake County, NC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation 
and Liability Act (CERCLA), the United States Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) proposes to enter into a ``Prospective Purchaser 
Agreement'' (P.A.) concerning property that has been potentially 
contaminated by releases from the Ward Transformer Superfund Site (Ward 
Site) in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina (P.A. Property). EPA 
proposes to enter into the P.A. with Brier Creek Commons LP (Brier 
Creek LP). The P.A. obligates Brier Creek LP to cooperate fully with 
any response action EPA may take on the P.A. Property. The P.A. 
resolves Brier Creek LP's potential liability for the Existing 
Contamination at the Ward Site and/or the P.A. Property which may 
otherwise result from it obtaining an easement across the P.A. Property 
and constructing a roadway. This protection is contingent upon Brier 
Creek LP fulfilling its obligations under the P.A. EPA will consider 
public comments on the proposed settlement for thirty (30) days.
    EPA may withdraw from or modify the proposed settlement should such 
comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate the proposed 
settlement is inappropriate, improper or inadequate. Copies of the 
proposed settlement are available from: Ms. Paula V. Bachelor, Waste 
Management Division, U.S. EPA, Region 4, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 
Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-3104, 404/562-8887.
    Written comments may be submitted to Ms. Bachelor at the address 
noted above within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of this 
publication.

    Dated: December 27, 2000.
James T. Miller,
Acting Chief, CERCA Program Services Branch, Waste Management Division.
