Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
Amended

Notice is hereby given that on September 22, 1998, a proposed
consent decree in United States v. Charles B. Foushee, Jr., et al.,
Civil Action No. 5:98CV124-MCK, was lodged with the United States
District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
In this action, the United States sought reimbursement of response
costs under Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, pertaining to the
Caldwell Systems Site in Caldwell County, North Carolina. The United
States alleged that two defendants, Caldwell Systems, Inc. and Charles
B. Foushee, Jr., operated a facility that treated, stored, and disposed
of hazardous substances at the Site. The United States also alleged
that a third defendant, Caldwell Industrial services, transported
hazardous substances to the Site for incineration and disposal. In the
settlement, the defendants agree jointly and severally to pay the
United States $141,500, an amount based on their ability to pay in
settlement of the civil claims alleged in the complaint.
