DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    Notice is hereby given that on October 17, 2006, a proposed consent 
decree in United States v. Padraig Tarrant, et al., Civil Action No. 
03CV3899(JCL), was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of New Jersey.
    In this action, the United States sought recovery of response costs 
pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA, for costs incurred related to the 
Meadowlands Plating and Finishing Superfund Site in East Rutherford, 
New Jersey during a removal action from November 1998 through June 
1999. The Defendant Kathy Chatterton filed a third-party complaint 
against Mr. Paul Boyko, a former employee of MPF Plating and Finishing, 
Inc., and eleven other parties. The claims against all other third-
party defendants were resolved either by dismissal or default. The 
consent decree requires third party defendant Paul Boyko to pay $1.00 
to the United States in reimbursement of past response costs at the 
Sites.
