DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice
is hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. AAF
McQuay, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:95-2023-0 was lodged on June 30, 1995,
with the United States District Court for the District of South
Carolina. This settlement agreement resolves the claims asserted by the
United States in an enforcement action brought on behalf of the
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') against 30 Potentially
Responsible Parties (``PRPs'') (referred to as the ``SEPCO Group'')
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. The complaint
alleges defendants are liable for CERCLA response costs incurred and to
be incurred by the United States at the ``Carolawn Superfund Site,'' an
approximately 60-acre property with an abandoned waste storage and
disposal facility located near Fort Lawn, South Carolina. The Site was
owned and operated as a waste storage and disposal facility by the now
defunct Carolawn Company, Southeastern Pollution Control Company
(``SEPCO''), and other prior owner/operators. Under the Consent Decree,
the SEPCO Group shall pay $292,500 (63%) of the $465,000 in outstanding
identified response costs associated with the remedial actions at the
Site.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United
States v. AAF McQuay, Inc., et al., 90-11-2-1A.
The proposed Consent Decree may be examined at the office of the
United States Attorney, 1441 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina, the
Region IV office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 345
Courtland Street, NE., Atlanta, GA 30365, and at the Consent Decree
Library, 1120 G Street, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, (202)
624-0892. A copy of the proposed Consent Decree may be obtained in
person or by mail from the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, NW.,
4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 624-0892. In requesting a copy,
please refer to the referenced case and enclose a check in the amount
of $12.50 (25 cents per page reproduction costs), payable to the
Consent Decree Library.
Bruce S. Gelber,
Acting Chief, Environment and Natural Resources Division.
