Notice is hereby given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, of a proposed prospective purchaser settlement agreement, embodied in an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue, with the State of Montana, MAC LTT, LLC, which is purchasing the Property, and MAC LTT Manufacturing, Inc., a related entity to MAC, which, although not purchasing the Property, has leased the Property since 2013 and will continue to lease and operate the Property after MAC purchases the Property. This Settlement Agreement pertains to a portion of the approximately 580-acre area known as the Lockwood Solvent Ground Water Plume Superfund Site located at 1430 U.S. Highway 87 East, Billings, Montana. Neither of the MAC-related business entities is responsible for the original contamination at the Site. Under the proposed Settlement Agreement, both MAC LTT, LLC and MAC LTT Manufacturing, Inc. would be required to comply with standard CERCLA bona fide prospective purchaser continuing obligations, including access, appropriate care, and non-interference with the CERCLA remedy. The proposed Settlement Agreement provides for the payment of certain response costs incurred by the EPA and the State of Montana at or in connection with the Site. The proposed Settlement Agreement includes a covenant by the United States and the State of Montana not to sue or take administrative action against MAC LTT, LLC and MAC LTT Manufacturing, Inc., pursuant to sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA for Existing Contamination, as that term is defined in the proposed Settlement Agreement, and for payment of response costs. For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this document, the EPA will receive written comments relating to the settlement. The EPA will consider all comments received and may modify or withdraws its consent to the Settlement Agreement if comments received disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The EPA's response to any comments received will be available for public inspection at EPA Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202.
