DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Two Consent Decrees Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on March 23, 2005,
two proposed consent decrees in United States v. Parker Hannifin
Corporation and Central Sprinkler Corporation, Civil Action No. 05-
1351, were lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania.
In this action the United States is seeking injunctive relief and
recovery of response costs incurred by the United States pursuant to
the Compressive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., in connection with the Parker
Hannifin/Precision Rebuilding and the Central Sprinkler properties at
the North Penn Area Six Superfund Site (``Site''), which consists of a
contaminated groundwater plume and a number of separate parcels of
property located within and adjacent to the Borough of Landsdale,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The proposed consent decrees will
resolve the United States' claims against Parker Hannifin Corporation
and Central Sprinkler Corporation (``Settling Defendants'') in
connection with Operable Unite 3 at the Site. Under the terms of the
proposed consent decrees, Settling Defendants will implement the EPA-
selected groundwater remedies at their respective properties and
reimburse the United States for certain future response costs. Settling
Defendants will receive a covenant not to sue by the United States for
performance of the work and for recovery of past and future response
costs.
