Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Liability Act In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree amendment in United States v. Eljer Industries, Inc. and Eljer Manufacturing, Inc., Civil Action No. C87-2693Y, was lodged on March 14, 1996 with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The proposed consent decree amendment will resolve claims against Eljer for stipulated penalties accruing under the terms of a 1990 consent decree that settled claims for violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., at Eljer's Salem Ohio plant. Under the proposed Consent Decree amendment, Eljer agrees to pay $175,000 in stipulated penalties, and provisions in the 1990 decree relating to liability coverage for closure work at the Salem plant are modified to provide a ``best efforts'' commitment to obtain liability coverage.
