          For Complainant

Before:   ALFRED LINDEMAN
          Administrative Law Judge


                     RECOMMENDED DECISION AND ORDER 
                     APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
                       AND
                    ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE[1] 

     The respondents herein are some of several joined by
complainant's "First Amended Complaint," filed November 28, 1994,
under the Employee Protection Provisions of the Toxic Substances
Control Act of 1976, 15 U.S.C. §2622, the Water Pollution
Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §1367, the Solid Waste Disposal Act,
42 U.S.C. § 6971, and the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
§7622.  On May 26, 1995, the named parties, represented by
counsel identified above, filed an executed "Joint Motion to
Approve Settlement Agreement and General Release and for An Order
Dismissing Claims With Prejudice" pursuant to the regulations at
29 C.F.R.  18.39(b).  Under the terms of the agreement, which is
attached in its entirety, the respondents agree to pay
complainant a stated sum in consideration of covenants and
releases stated therein.

     Having considered the proposed settlement in light of the
nature of the complaint and the disputed issued presented by the
pleadings,[2] I find that the terms of the settlement are fair,
adequate and reasonable, as asserted by the parties in their
joint motion.  The motion is therefore GRANTED, and it is
REOCMMENDED that the Secretary approve the attached settlement
and issue an order dismissing the instant complaint with
prejudice.  See 29 C.F.R. §§18.39(b), 24.6.


                              ALFRED LINDEMAN
                              Administrative Law Judge
