DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    Notice is hereby given that on July 21, 2009, a proposed Consent 
Decree (``Decree'') in United States v. Princeton Gamma-Tech, et al. 
(D.N.J.) Civil Action No. 91-809 (AET), was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
    The Decree recovers costs incurred by the United States in 
connection with the Rocky Hill Municipal Wellfield Superfund Site and 
the Montgomery Township Housing Development Superfund Site (the 
``Sites''), both located in New Jersey. Pursuant to the Decree, the 
Settling Defendants will pay to the United States $1,842,500 in 
reimbursement of past and future response costs incurred by the United 
States with respect to the Sites. In addition, the Settling Defendants 
will pay $907,500 to the State of New Jersey in reimbursement of past 
and future response costs and natural resource damages related to the 
Sites. The Decree resolves claims of the United States and the State of 
New Jersey pursuant to Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 
42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607, against the Settling Defendants with respect to 
the Sites.
    Notice of the lodging of this Decree was provided earlier on July 
31, 2009. 74 FR 38230 (July 31, 2009). The Decree has not been revised 
in any way, but because entry of the Decree has been delayed due to a 
delay in submission of settlement documents (upon which the Decree is 
contingent) resolving one Settling Defendant's claims against its 
insurance carriers, we are now providing an additional period for 
public comment. The Department of Justice will receive for a period of 
fifteen (15) days from the date of this publication comments relating 
to the Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, and either 
emailed to [email protected] or mailed to P.O. Box 7611, 
U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer 
to United States v. Princeton Gamma-Tech, et al., Civil Action No. 91-
809, D.J. Ref. 90-11-2-290.
    During the public comment period, the Consent Decree also may be 
examined on the following Department of Justice Web site: http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html.A copy of the Decree may also 
be obtained by mail from the Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611,
