Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decrees Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on February 15, 2002, two proposed 
partial consent decrees in United States v. ABC Compounding Co. et al., 
Civil Action No. 1:02-cv-291-RLV, were lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
    In this action the United States sought under section 107(a) of 
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), the recovery of past response costs with 
respect to the Murphy Avenue Drum Site, located at 1230 Murphy Avenue 
in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. The defendants in the action are 
ABC Compounding Co., Davis Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc., Henkel 
Corporation, Hill Manufacturing Co., Inc., Southern Industrial 
Chemicals, Inc. (aka ``SIC Technologies, Inc.'' or ``SIC''), and Union 
Carbide Corporation. Together, the two partial consent decrees resolve 
claims for past response costs at the Site against all defendants. 
Under the first partial consent decree, all defendants other than SIC 
have agreed to pay $465,000 to the Superfund toward EPA's past response 
costs. The second partial consent decree is an ability-to-pay 
settlement under which SIC has agreed to pay $12,000 to the Superfund 
in four quarterly installments.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
proposed consent decrees for a period of thirty (30) days from the date 
of this publication. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
