Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that on February 19, 2004 a proposed Consent Decree in 
United States v. J.B. Stringfellow, Jr. et al., Civil Action No. 83-

Central District of California. The Complaint in this action was 
brought pursuant to, inter alia, the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., to 
recover costs incurred in connection with remedial activities at the 
Stringfellow Superfund Site in Riverside, California, and to obtain 
injunctive relief requiring the defendants to take further remedial 
actions at the Site.
    The proposed Consent Decree resolves issues arising out of the 
implementation of a 1992 Consent Decree, requires payment to the United 
States of approximately $1.6 million as reimbursement for costs of 
response at the Site, and resolves the claims as to all but one party 
of this action.
