DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Partial Consent Decree (``Decree'') in 
United States v. Centel Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 02-4090 
was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of 
South Dakota on May 9, 2002.
    The Decree resolves the United States' claims against the City of 
Sioux Falls, South Dakota (the City) under Sections 106 and 107 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 106 and 107, Section 311 of the Clear Water Act 
(CWA), 33 U.S.C. 1321, and Section 1002 of the Oil Pollution Act of 
1990 (OPA), 33 U.S.C. 2702, for past and future response costs incurred 
at the Fawick Park site in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Decree 
requires the City to provide the United States with access to the Site 
and to waive any claims it might have against the United States 
relating to removal activities at the Site. The Decree does not, 
however, require the City to pay any response costs to the United 
States.

the Consent Decree for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of 
this publication . Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
