Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent
Decree Pursuant to the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA)
Pursuant to section 122(d) of
CERCLA, 24 U.S.C. 9622(d), and 28 CFR
50.7 notice is hereby given that on June
24, 2005, a proposed partial Consent
Decree (the Decree) in United States v.
Beckman Coulter, Inc., et al., Civ. No.
98–CV–4812 (WHW) (consolidated),
was lodged with the United States
District Court for the District of New
Jersey (Newark Vicinage).
In this consolidated action the United
States, on behalf of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), and the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
seek cost recovery with respect to the
Combe Fill South Landfill Superfund
Site (the Site), located in Chester and
Washington Townships, New Jersey,
pursuant to CERCLA and other
authorities against former operators of
the Site, as well as generators and
transporters of hazardous substances to
the Site. The proposed Decree settles
claims brought against four parties,
Carbco, Inc., f/k/a J. Filiberto Sanitation,
Inc., Chester Hills, Inc., John Filiberto,
and Joseph Filiberto (the Settling
Parties), by the United States and New
Jersey. Under the terms of the proposed
settlement, within thirty days of entry,
the Settling Parties will pay $12.5
million, plus interest, to reimburse the
United States and State of New Jersey
for a portion of their costs incurred at
the Site. After the time period for an
appeal of the entry of the Consent
Decree has passed, or any potential
appeal has been resolved, the Settling
Parties will also pay any monies
remaining in their litigation escrow
account to the United States and State
of New Jersey. This settlement is based
upon the Settling Parties’ limited ability
to pay, and the amounts being paid
under the Consent Decree are entirely
funded from settlements the Settling
Parties have entered into with their
insurance carriers, with no part of the
Settling Parties’ settlement with their
insurance carriers inuring to their
personal benefit.
