Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 16, 2007 / Notices into by the EPA and T.J.’s Enterprises, Inc. (‘‘the Settling Party’’). In response to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances including lead at or from the Site, EPA undertook response actions at the Site pursuant to Section 104 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9604. In April 1998, response actions were initiated by EPA to address the release of lead to surface and subsurface soils at the Site. Excavation of lead-contaminated soils began in December 1998, resulting in the excavation, on-Site treatment and off-Site disposal of approximately 2,650 tons of lead-contaminated material. The soils were excavated to below 1000 parts per million, a level suitable only for limited uses of the property. EPA’s response action has been completed and all costs incurred. Pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), the Settling Party is responsible for response costs incurred at or in connection with the Site. The Regional Administrator of EPA, Region VII, or his designee, has determined that the total past and projected response costs of the United States at or in connection with the Site will not exceed $500,000, excluding interest. This Agreement requires the Settling Party to pay to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund the principal sum of $45,000 in reimbursement of Past Response Costs, and will resolve the Settling Party’s alleged civil liability for these costs. The proposed Agreement also includes a covenant not to sue the Settling Party pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a). Dated: December 21, 2006. John B. Askew, Regional Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VII. [FR Doc.
