Design Response Costs; Del Amo Superfund Site, Waste Pits Operable Unit
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (``CERCLA''), 42
U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given of a proposed Agreement for
Recovery of Response Costs (``Agreement,'' Region 9 Docket No. 9-2006-
0016) pursuant to Section 122(h) of CERCLA concerning the Del Amo
Superfund Site, Waste Pits Operable Unit (the ``Site''), located in Los
Angeles, California. The settling parties to the Agreement are Shell
Oil Company and the United States General Services Administration.
The Agreement fully compensates EPA for past response costs related
to the remedial design of the Waste Pits Operable Unit of the Del Amo
Site. The settling parties performed work on the remedial design
pursuant to a 1998 Unilateral Administrative Order (``UAO''). The UAO
did not provide for the recovery of EPA oversight costs. The Agreement
provides for a total recovery of $1,208,551.25. The Agreement also
provides the settling parties with contribution protection under CERCLA
113(f)(2) for response cost paid under the Agreement.
For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this
Notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the
proposed Agreement. The Agency's response to any comments will be
available for public inspection at the Agency's Region IX offices,
