Environmental Response and Liability Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed administrative settlement and opportunity 
for public comment--Asbestos Dump Superfund Site.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') is 
proposing to enter into an administrative settlement to resolve certain 
claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Liability Act 
of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''). Notification is being published to 
inform the public of the proposed settlement and of the opportunity to 
comment. This settlement is intended to resolve the liability of the 
owners of the White Bridge Road property within the Asbestos Dump 
Superfund Site (``White Bridge Road Site'') for certain response costs 
incurred by EPA at the White Bridge Road Site in Long Hill Township, 
Morris County, New Jersey.

DATES: Comments must be provided on or before February 27, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Regional Counsel, 290 
Broadway--17th Floor, New York, New York 10007, and should refer to: In 
the Matter of the Asbestos Dump Superfund Site: Administrative 
Settlement, U.S.E.P.A. Index No. 02-2001-2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Office of Regional Counsel, 290 Broadway--17th Floor, New York, New

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 122(h) of CERCLA, 
notification is hereby given of a proposed administrative settlement 
with Joyce and David Major, the owners of a property within the 
Asbestos Dump Site. David Major arranged for the disposal of asbestos 
waste on his property. This settlement, in which the Majors will pay 
EPA $5000 toward its unreimbursed costs at the Site, is based on the 
Majors' demonstrated limited ability to pay the full amount of the 
unreimbursed costs. Section 122(h) authorizes EPA to compromise claims 
with the approval of the Attorney General and the Attorney General has 
approved the settlement.

    Dated: January 11, 2002.
Jane M. Kenny,
Regional Administrator, Region 2.
