Notice of Agreement Under the Comprehensive Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)
In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given of a proposed administrative settlement between the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) for the recovery of costs incurred by the United States in responding to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at and from the Cashman Mill Site (Site), near Skykomish, King County, Washington. The Forest Service has incurred costs investigating conditions, analyzing cleanup alternatives and overseeing ARCO's work at the Site. In 1997, ARCO removed flue dust and associated contaminated soil from the Site. Under the proposed settlement ARCO will also remove contaminated material from another portion of the Site. ARCO and the Forest Service will each bear their respective costs, while retaining the right to recover those costs from persons not parties to the settlement.
