Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on November 6, 2009, 
two proposed and related Consent Decrees in United States v. Carlyle 
Manufacturing Co., Inc., et al., No. 3:09-1784, and United States v. 
Timothy Fidgeon as Trustee of the WALC Liquidating Trust, No. 3:09-
1780, were lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Connecticut.
    The proposed Consent Decrees resolve claims of the United States, 
on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., in connection with the Solvents 
Recovery Service of New England, Inc. Superfund Site in Southington, 
Connecticut (``Site''), against three defendants.
    The proposed Consent Decree in U.S. v. United States v. Carlyle 
Manufacturing Co., Inc., et al., requires Carlyle Manufacturing Co., 
Inc. to pay the proceeds of an insurance coverage claim which has a 
value estimated at $25,000, and for Lukon Inc. to pay $200,000. The 
proposed Consent Decree in U.S. v. Timothy Fidgeon as Trustee of the 
WALC Liquidating Trust requires the sole settlor to pay $907,000.
    Both Consent Decrees provide that the settlors are entitled to 
contribution protection as provided by Section 113(f)(2) of CERCLA, 42
