Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    Notice is hereby given that on May 17, 2010, a proposed consent 
decree in United States v. Tanana Oil Corp., et al., Civil Action No. 
05-2540, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Maryland.
    In this action the United States asked the court to order Tri-Angle 
Holding Company to clean up petroleum products that the United States 
alleges leaked from underground storage tanks owned or operated by the 
defendants at Tanana Oil Station 409, formerly located at 7526 
North Point Road, Edgemere, Maryland. The United States also sought 
civil penalties from the defendants for violating regulations regarding 
underground storage tanks and for failing to comply with an 
administrative order requiring defendants to clean up the leaked 
petroleum products. The United States obtained default judgment on 
April 16, 2006, ordering Tri-Angle Holding Company to clean up the 
petroleum contamination and ordering the defendants to pay $760,000 in 
civil penalties. If approved, the consent decree would replace the 
default judgment and would require two individuals, not previously 
named as defendants in this matter, to perform the cleanup work in 
accordance with a corrective action plan attached to the consent decree 
and to pay a civil penalty of $69,000 in two installments.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the consent 
decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, 
Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to

United States v. Tanana Oil Company, D.J. Ref. 90-7-1-08585/1.

Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During the public comment period,
