Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

hereby given that on February 19, 2004 a proposed Consent Decree in
United States v. J.B. Stringfellow, Jr. et al., Civil Action No. 83-

brought pursuant to, inter alia, the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., to
recover costs incurred in connection with remedial activities at the
Stringfellow Superfund Site in Riverside, California, and to obtain

actions at the Site.
The proposed Consent Decree resolves issues arising out of the

States of approximately $1.6 million as reimbursement for costs of
