DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Pursuant to the Safe
Drinking Water Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed Partial Consent Decree in United States v.
Perry Phillips, et al., Civil Action No. 95-5578 (E.D. Pa.), was lodged
on September 27, 1996 with the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The proposed Partial Consent Decree
resolves injunctive relief claims of the United States and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the Safe Drinking Water Act
(``Act'') in a Complaint filed September 6, 1995 against Perry Phillips
and Jeanne Phillips doing business as the Perry Phillips Mobile Home
Park, which owns and operates a water system for approximately sixty
residents of the Perry Phillips Mobile Home Park near Coatesville,
Pennsylvania. The Complaint alleged violations of the maximum
contaminant levels set forth in regulations implementing the Act for
several volatile organic compounds detected in the water system for the
mobile home park.
The proposed Partial Consent Decree requires Perry and Jeanne
Phillips to construct a groundwater remediation system, to sample for
volatile organic compounds on a monthly basis, and to notify EPA, the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (``PADEP'') and the
residents of the park of any violations of the Act or implementing
regulations. The Partial Consent Decree reserves the rights of the
United States and PADEP to seek a civil penalty at a later time.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed Partial 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. Perry Phillips, et al., DOJ Ref. 90-5-1-1-
4151.
The proposed Partial Consent Decree may be examined at the Office
of the United States Attorney, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 615
Chestnut Street, Suite 1250, Philadelphia, PA 19106; the Region III
Office of the Environmental Protection Agency, 941 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19107; and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G
Street, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, 202-624-0892. A copy of
