SUMMARY: In accordance with section 122(i) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended
(CERCLA) and section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA), EPA is hereby providing notice of a proposed administrative de
minimis settlement concerning the Casmalia Resources Superfund Site in
Santa Barbara County, California (the Casmalia Resources Site). Section
122(g) of CERCLA provides EPA with the authority to enter into
administrative de minimis settlements. This settlement is intended to
resolve the liabilities of the 337 settling parties identified below
for the Casmalia Resources Site under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA
and section 7003 of RCRA. These parties have also elected to resolve
their liability for response costs and potential natural resource
damage claims by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These
337 parties sent 15,558,106 lbs. of waste to the Casmalia Resources
Site, which represents 0.0028 (0.28%) of the total Site waste of 5.6
billion pounds. This settlement requires these parties to pay over $1.4
million to EPA.
DATES: EPA will receive written comments relating to the settlement
until April 23, 2015. EPA will consider all comments it receives during
this period, and may modify or withdraw consent to the settlement if
any comments disclose facts or considerations indicating that the
settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
Public Meeting: In accordance with section 7003(d) of RCRA, 42
U.S.C. 6973(d), commenters may request an opportunity for a public
meeting in the affected area. The deadline for requesting a public
