Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is

hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Gaither

S. Walser, Executor of the Estate of Nancy Miller, et al., Civil Action

No. C-89-886-S, was lodged on April 7, 1994, with the United States

District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. That action

was brought against defendants pursuant to the Comprehensive

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

for payment of past costs incurred by the United States at the JMC

Furniture Site in Lexington, North Carolina. The decree requires two

settlors to pay $145,000 towards the United States' past costs. The

United States has incurred costs in excess of $1.2 million in

connection with a removal action at the JMC Site.

This settlement is in addition to a consent decree with three prior

settlors which involved the payment of $446,000, and which was entered

by the Court on July 26, 1993.
