proposed Consent Decree (``Consent Decree'') in the matter of United 
States v. Von Roll America, Inc., Civil Action No. 4:06 CV 2893, was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the Northern District 
of Ohio, Eastern Division.
    In the complaint in this matter, the United States sought 
injunctive relief and penalties against Von Roll America, Inc. (``Von 
Roll'') for claims arising under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et 
seq., and under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 
6901 et seq., in connection with the operation of Von Roll's hazardous 
waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility located in East 
Liverpool, Ohio. Under the Consent Decree, Von Roll will: control waste 
vapors containing volatile organic compounds, including benzene, by 
installing and operating a carbon absorption system that will consist 
of no less than two trains of a primary and a secondary carbon box 
operated in series; install and operate a total hydrocarbon (``THC'') 
continuous emissions monitor system (``CEMS'') between the primary and 
secondary carbon box in each dual series to monitor for carbon 
breakthrough (an indication that the carbon box is no longer 
effective); and change out the primary box whenever CEMS data shows 
THCs of 5 ppm or greater on a 60 minute rolling average. Von Roll will 
pay a civil penalty of $750,000 and, as a Supplemental Environmental 
Project, will undertake a household hazardous waste collection project 
valued at $34,000.
