42 U.S.C. 9600 et seq., notice is hereby

given that on September 30, 1997, the

United States Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) and the United States

Department of Justice (DOJ) executed

two proposed Prospective Purchaser

Agreements pertaining to property

transactions within the South Bay

Asbestos Superfund Site. The

Asbestos Superfund Site, located in San

237 Associates (West Parcel Agreement).

referenced as (the Purchasers). The

proposed settlement will require the

Purchasers to make a one-time payment

of $125,000 for the East Parcel

Agreement and $75,000 for the West

Parcel Agreement. Payments will be

made to the EPA Hazardous Substance

Superfund. In addition, any disturbance

of soils on the East Parcel must comply

with the Soil Management Plan (SMP),

attached as exhibit 3 to the East Parcel

Agreement.

For thirty (30) calendar days
