DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')

     Pursuant to section 122(d) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(d), and 28 
CFR 50.7 notice is hereby given that on August 2, 2004, a proposed 
Consent Decree in United States v. Izzo Group, Inc., and Pasco Izzo, 
Sr., Civ. No. 1:04-CV-11689 (GAO), was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of Massachusetts.1
     In this action the United States, on behalf of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), seeks cost recovery with 
respect to the Cohen Property Superfund Site (``Site''), located in the 
City of Taunton, Massachusetts, pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act against Izzo 
Group, Inc., and Pasco Izzo, Sr. (the ``Settling Parties''). Under the 
terms of the proposed settlement, the Settling Parties will pay 
$100,000, plus interest, to reimburse the United States for costs 
incurred by EPA at the site. This settlement amount is based on the 
Settling Parties' limited ability to pay the full amount of EPA's 
unreimbursed response costs. The proposed settlement also provides for 
payment of approximately $2 million by the United States, on behalf of 
the United States Department of Defense, in reimbursement of EPA's 
response costs incurred at the Site.
     The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty 
(30) days from the date of this publication, written comments relating
