SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive

(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given of a proposed 
Administrative Order on Consent (``AOC,'' Region 9, Docket No. 2004-

Chemicals Removal Site (the ``Site''), located in Chula Vista, 
California. The respondent to the AOC is Gary Rasmussen 
(``Rasmussen''). The AOC provides Rasmussen with a covenant not to sue 
and contribution protection for the removal action at the Site. To 
date, EPA has incurred approximately $49,000.00 in response costs 
related to the Site. Rasmussen is reimbursing $5,000.00 of the incurred 
response costs to EPA, consistent with EPA's determination of 
Rasmussen's ability to pay. For thirty (30) days following the date of 
publication of this Notice, the Agency will receive written comments 
relating to the proposed AOC. The Agency's response to any comments 
will be available for public inspection at EPA's Region IX offices,
