SUMMARY: In accordance with section
122(h) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, as
amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9622
(h), notice is hereby given of a proposed
administrative settlement by consent,
pursuant to CERCLA 122(h), 42 U.S.C.

settlement includes EPA’s covenant not
to sue the Settling Parties pursuant to

the satisfactory performance by Settling
Parties of their obligations under the

Agreement. U.S. EPA is proposing this
Agreement because it provides
reimbursement to U.S. EPA for part of
its past costs at the Greenberg Salvage
Yard Site.
For thirty (30) days following the date
of publication of this notice, the agency
will receive written comments relating
to the settlement. The Agency will
consider all comments received and
may modify or withdraw its consent to
the settlement if comments received
disclose facts or considerations which
indicate that the settlement is
inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
The response to any comment received
will be available for public inspection at
the Superfund Division Record Center,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois

The
Greenberg Salvage Yard Superfund Site,
encompassing two parcels of
approximately 2.34 acres, located in
Murphysboro, Jackson County, Illinois
is generally designated by the following
property description: The Site’s
northern parcel is bordered to the north
by Thomas D. Cox Trucking, Inc., to the
east by the American Legion and to the
west by private residences. The Site’s
southern parcel is bordered by a lumber
yard and to the east and west by private
residences. In response to the release or
threatened release of hazardous
substances at or from the Site, EPA
undertook response actions at the Site
pursuant to 104 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9604. A lead stabilizing agent was
mixed with lead-contaminated soil at
the Site to treat the soil to below
hazardous waste characteristic levels for
lead. Then the soil was transported off
the site for disposal as non-hazardous
waste. A total of 12,050.6 tons of
treated/low level contaminated lead soil
were disposed of at an off-site disposal
facility. The Site was then backfilled
with clean soil. The settling parties are:
Cox Parts and Services, Inc. and Thomas
D. Cox Trucking, Inc. The Settling
Parties shall be jointly and severally
liable for all obligations imposed upon
them under the Agreement for Recovery
of Past Response Costs, 122(h)(1) of
CERCLA 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1). Based
upon the information submitted by the
parties, EPA determined that each
Settling Party has limited financial
ability to pay for response costs
incurred at the Site. However, the Site
property was owned by Cox Parts and
Services, Inc. and was sold after the
removal action was completed. The
settlement represents the amount of
profit received by Cox Parts and
Services, Inc. from the sale of the
property. Settling Parties shall pay to
the EPA Hazardous Substance

Availability of List Decisions

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of EPA’s final action
identifying water quality limited
segments and associated pollutants in
Louisiana to be listed pursuant to Clean
Water Act Section 303(d), and request
for public comment. Section 303(d)
requires that states submit and EPA
approve or disapprove lists of waters for
which existing technology-based
pollution controls are not stringent
enough to attain or maintain state water
quality standards and for which total
maximum daily loads (TMDLs) must be
prepared.
On March 31, 2005, EPA partially
approved and partially disapproved
Louisiana’s 2002 303(d) submittal.
Specifically, EPA approved Louisiana’s
listing of 442 water body-pollutant
combinations and associated priority
rankings. EPA disapproved Louisiana’s
decisions not to list 44 water quality
limited segments (or 69 water bodypollutant combinations). EPA identified
these additional water bodies and
pollutants along with priority rankings
for inclusion on the 2002 Section 303(d)
List.
EPA is providing the public the
opportunity to review its final decisions
to add waters and pollutants to
Louisiana’s 2002 Section 303(d) List, as
required by EPA’s Public Participation
regulations (40 CFR Part 25). EPA will
consider public comments and if
necessary amend its final action on the
additional water bodies and pollutants
identified for inclusion on Louisiana’s
Final 2002 Section 303(d) List.
DATES: Comments must be submitted in
writing to EPA on or before May 12,
2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the decisions
should be sent to Diane Smith,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
requires that each state identify those
waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not
stringent enough to attain or maintain
state water quality standards. For those
waters, states are required to establish
Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
according to a priority ranking.
EPA’s Water Quality Planning and
Management regulations include
requirements related to the
implementation of Section 303(d) of the
CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations
require states to identify water quality
limited waters still requiring TMDLs
every two years. The list of waters still
needing TMDLs must also include
priority rankings and must identify the
waters targeted for TMDL development
during the next two years (40 CFR
130.7). On March 31, 2000, EPA
promulgated a revision to this
regulation that waived the requirement
for states to submit Section 303(d) Lists
in 2000 except in cases where a court
order, consent decree, or settlement
agreement required EPA to take action
on a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170).
Consistent with EPA’s regulations,
Louisiana submitted to EPA its listing
decisions under Section 303(d) on
August 21, 2003, with subsequent
corrections submitted on December 10,
2003, and October 19, 2004. On March
31, 2005, EPA approved Louisiana’s
listing of 442 water body-pollutant
combinations and associated priority
rankings. EPA disapproved Louisiana’s
decisions not to list 44 water quality
limited segments (or 69 water bodypollutant combinations). EPA identified
these additional waters and pollutants

inclusion on Louisiana’s 2002 Section
303(d) List.
