Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

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

hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. Robert

Odabashian, et al. was lodged with the United States District Court for

the Western District of Tennessee on June 19, 1998 (95-2361 G/Bre). The

United States filed a First Amended Complaint pursuant to Section 107

of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and

Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA''), as amended, against five

defendants. The First Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants are

liable under Section 107 of CERCLA for costs incurred by the United

States Environmental Protection Agency during a cleanup of the Pulvair

Corporation Superfund Site in Millington, Tennessee. Chevron Chemical

Company, Kincaid Enterprises, and Universal Cooperatives, Inc.

subsequently filed a third party complaint against E.I. DuPont De

Nemours & Co. (``DuPont''), among others. The proposed Consent Decree

settles the liability of DuPont. Under the Consent Decree, DuPont

agrees to reimburse the United States in the amount of $75,000.
