In this action the United States is seeking response costs pursuant
to Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, for costs
incurred in response to releases of hazardous substances at the

proposed consent decree, defendant National Wrecking will make a cast
payment of $30,000 to the United States. In return, the United States
