Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')

    Consistent with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, and under Section 
122(d) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(d), notice is hereby given that a 
proposed consent decree in United States v. Yaworski,Inc., et al., Civ. 
No. 3:99cv626 (PCD), was lodged on August 2, 2000 with the United

Decree concerns hazardous waste contamination at the Yaworski Lagoon 
Superfund Site (the ``Site''), located off Packer Road in Canterbury, 
Connecticut. The Consent Decree would resolve the liability for 
reimbursement of response costs incurred and to be incurred by the 
United States in connection with the Site as to the defendants against

entities and would also resolve certain claims that the United States 
asserted under the Federal Debt Collection Act, 28 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.,

Decree requires the settling defendants to reimburse the EPA Hazardous 
Substance Superfund $1,425,000 for its costs pertaining to the Site.
