DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on
September 12, 2005, a proposed Consent
Decree in United States v. E.I. Du Pont
de Nemours and Company, et al. Civil
Action No. 1:03CV29 (and related case
E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company
v. United States, Civil Action No.
1:02CV177) was lodged with the United
States District Court for Northern
District of West Virginia.
In the United States v. DuPont, et al.
action, the United States seeks the
recovery of response costs incurred in
connection with Ordinance Works
Disposal Areas Superfund Site, located
in Morgantown, West Virginia (Site ID
number WV000850404). The United
States’ original complaint, filed in 2003,
named only DuPont as a defendant; an
amended complaint that was filed
simultaneously with the proposed
consent decree, adds as defendants
EPEC Polymers, Inc., General Electric
Company, Olin Corporation, and
VerDate Aug<31>2005
13:52 Sep 28, 2005
Jkt 205001
Rockwell Automation. In the Amended
Complaint the United States alleges that
each defendant owned and/or operated
the Site at the time of disposal or
treatment, and/or arranged for the
disposal and/or treatment of wastes
containing hazardous substances at the
Site, within the meaning of 42 U.S.C.
9607(a).
Under the proposed consent decree
EPEC Polymers, Olin Corp. and
Rockwell Automation (the defendants
who performed the remedial action at
the Site, or the ‘‘Performing
Defendants’’) will reimburse to EPA past
response costs paid at the Site in the
amount of $1,532,174.65, plus interest.
Further, under the proposed Consent
Decree, the United States, on behalf of
the United States Army and other
federal departments and agencies, shall:
(1) Reimburse to EPA past response
costs in the amount of $1,760,700.17;
and (2) reimburse the Performing
Defendants their past response costs in
the amount of $2,420,082.80 plus
interest. Additionally, under the
proposed consent decree the United
States, on behalf of the Settling Federal
Agencies, has committed to paying EPA
and the State of West Virginia 53.47%
of their future response costs, and the
Performing Defendants have committed
to paying EPA and the State of West
Virginia 46.53% of their future response
costs. Because the United States,
pursuant to a judicial decision, is
required to indemnify DuPont for costs
it incurred in connection with the
Ordnance Works Site, DuPont will not
be making a payment under this Decree.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to this Consent Decree in United
States v. DuPont, et al. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, P.O. Box
7611, U.S. Department of Justice,
Washington, DC 20044–7611, and
should refer to United States v. DuPont,
et al., D.J. Ref. 90–11–2–369/2.
The United States v. DuPont, et al.
Consent Decree may be examined at the
Office of the United States Attorney for
the Northern District of West Virginia, at
the Clarksburg Federal Center, 320 West
Pike Street, Suite 300, Clarksburg, West
Virginia 26301–2710 (ask for Alan
McGonigal) and at U.S. EPA Region III’s
Office, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
PA (ask for Andrew Goldman). During
the public comment period, the United
States v. DuPont, et al. consent decree,
may also be examined on the following

Documents.
OMB number: 3095–0012.
Agency form number: None.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals, often
already working on documentary
editing projects, who wish to apply to

Abstract: The application is used by
the NHPRC staff to establish the
applicant’s qualifications and to permit
selection of those individuals best
qualified to attend the Institute jointly
sponsored by the NHPRC, the

University of Wisconsin. Selected
applicants’ forms are forwarded to the
resident advisors of the Institute, who
use them to determine what areas of
instruction would be most useful to the
applicants.
