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

    Notice is hereby given that on April 22, 2010, a proposed Partial 
Consent Decree (``CD'') in United States v. James Y. Saporito and Paul 
Carr, Civil Action No. 07-cv-03169, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.
    In this action, the United States seeks on behalf of the United 
States Environmental Protection Agency recovery of response costs 
incurred at the Crescent Plating Works Superfund Site (the ``Site'') in 
Chicago, Illinois, pursuant to Section 107 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 
U.S.C. 9607. The CD resolves a claim that Paul Carr (``Settling 
Defendant''), as current operator of the Site, is liable to the United 
States for reimbursement of costs incurred as a result of responding to 
a release, or threat of release, of hazardous substances from the Site. 
Based upon the Settling Defendant's ability to pay, he will not be 
required to pay any response costs related to the Site. Contingent on 
the veracity of the Settling Defendant's certifications made in the 
Partial Consent Decree and his fulfilling any obligations required in 
the Partial Consent Decree, the United States covenants not to sue the 
settling defendant's pursuant to CERCLA Sections 106 and 107, 42 U.S.C. 
9606 and 9607.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to this CD 
for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication.
