ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9787-5]


Proposed CERCLA Settlement Relating to the 1244 White Drive Site 
in North Brunswick, Middlesex County, NJ

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Administrative Settlement and Opportunity 
for Public Comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as 
amended (``CERCLA''), notice is hereby given by the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), Region 2, of a proposed Administrative 
Settlement Agreement for Recovery of Past Response Costs 
(``Agreement'') pursuant to Section 122(h)(1) of CERCLA, with Rusony 
Shiau and Katrina Shiau (``Settling Parties''). The Settling Parties 
are potentially responsible parties, pursuant to Section 107(a) of 
CERCLA, and thus are potentially liable for response costs incurred at 
or in connection with the 1244 White Drive Site (``Site''), located in 
North Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Under the Agreement, the 
Settling Parties agree to pay a total of $429,783.54 to EPA for past 
response costs over a period of three years with most of that money 
coming from the sale of seven properties that the Settling Parties own. 
The Settling Parties will pay the money in accordance with the 
following schedule. Within 30 days of the effective date of the 
Settlement Agreement, the Settling Parties will pay EPA 10% 
($42,978.35) of the total leaving a balance of $386,805.19. Within 
three years of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, the 
Settling Parties will sell the seven properties that they own and pay 
EPA 60% of the net proceeds from the sale of each of the seven 
properties until the balance of $386,805.19 is paid in full. In the 
event that any balance remains due after the sale of the seven 
properties the remaining balance will be paid out of the Settling 
Parties' estates. EPA will consider all comments received and may 
modify or withdraw its consent to the Agreement if comments received 
disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the proposed 
Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. EPA's response to 
any comments received will be available for public inspection at EPA 
Region 2 offices, 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.

DATES: Comments must be provided by April 4, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The Agreement is available for public inspection at EPA 
Region 2 offices at 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866. 
Comments should reference the 1244 White Drive Site, located in North 
Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, Index No. CERCLA-02-2013-2004.
