Notice of Proposed Administrative
Settlement Order on Consent and
Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser
Agreement
The United States Department of
Justice, on behalf of the Environmental
Protection Agency (‘‘United States’’),
proposes to enter into an Administrative
Settlement Order on Consent and Bona
Fide Prospective Purchaser Agreement
(‘‘BFPP Agreement’’) with Star Forge,
LLC (‘‘Purchaser’’) regarding real
property located at 8531 East Marginal
Way South in Seattle, Washington (the
‘‘Property’’). The Property is located in
and part of the ‘‘Lower Duwamish
Waterway Superfund Site’’ (the ‘‘LDW
Site’’). Under the BFPP Agreement,
Purchaser agrees to perform a removal
action in accordance with the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9601–9675,
at the Property. Additionally, Purchaser
agrees to pay $500,000 to an escrow
account to be established by Purchaser
and dedicated to the ongoing cleanup of
the LDW Site.
The proposed BFPP Agreement helps
to ensure the timely performance of all
response actions EPA has selected for
the Property by specifying that the
Purchaser cooperate with the United
States to satisfy remaining obligations
under an existing Administrative Order
between EPA, the current owner of the
Property (Jorgensen Forge Corporation,
in bankruptcy), and an adjoining
landowner. The BFPP Agreement also
requires Purchaser to institute and abide
by appropriate institutional controls at
the Property and requires Purchaser to
exercise due care in its future operations
to ensure that those operations will not
exacerbate or contribute to existing
contamination.
In exchange, EPA provides the Buyer
with a covenant not to sue for response
costs, and potential response costs,
incurred in connection with existing
contamination at the Facility. The BFPP
expressly reserves EPA’s rights against
the Purchaser for any activities that
result in new releases of hazardous
substances or aggravation of existing
contamination at or from the Property.
The proposed settlement, including the
$500,000 payment, represents fair

consideration for the covenant provided
to the Purchaser, given the Purchaser’s
limited potential liability for existing
contamination.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Administrative Settlement
and Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser
Agreement. Comments should be

General, Environment and Natural

with the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Texas in the
lawsuit entitled United States, et al. v.
CITGO Petroleum Corp., et al., Civil
Action No. 4:04–cv–3883.
Under the proposed Consent Decree
lodged with the Northern District of
Illinois (‘‘Lemont Refinery Consent

nitrogen oxide burners on three heaters
at one of its refineries in Lemont,
Illinois (‘‘Lemont Refinery’’); comply
with a stringent limit for particulate

develop and implement operation and
maintenance plans to improve
operations and prevent violations at the
Lemont Refinery’s sulfur recovery plant;
implement a flare minimization and
flare efficiency program; implement an
enhanced leak detection and repair
program; and use carbon canisters to
control benzene emissions from purged
process fluids and samples. CITGO also
will implement a $650,000 fence line
monitoring supplemental environmental
project and a $350,000 ‘‘green lighting’’
supplemental environmental project at
the local school district. As a mitigation
project, CITGO will control a benzene
waste stream that it is not otherwise

approximately $1.14 million. CITGO
will pay a civil penalty of $1,955,000.
Under the proposed First Amendment

transferred to the new, stand-alone
Lemont Refinery Consent Decree filed in
the Northern District of Illinois. Under
the First Amendment, CITGO will also
