Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 
42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.

    Notice is hereby given that on February 7, 2002, a proposed partial 
consent decree (``consent decree'') in United States v. Chrysler Corp., 
et al., Civil Action No. 5:97CV00894, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
    In this action the United States sought recovery, under Sections 
107(a) and 113 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a) and 
9613, of response costs incurred in connection with the Krejci Dump 
Site in Summit County, Ohio (``Site''). The consent decree resolves 
claims under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA against Minnesota Mining 
and Manufacturing Company (``3M''), which is alleged to be liable as a 
result of having arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at 
the Site. The consent decree recovers $14,700,000 in response costs, 
and $800,000 for natural resource damages, relating to the Site.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree for a period of thirty (30) days from the date 
of this publication. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
