Notice of Lodging of Settlement

Pursuant To The Safe Drinking Water

Act

In accordance with Department

policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that on December 4, 1997, a

proposed Consent Decree in United

States v. Gas Transportation

Corporation, (N.D.FLA.) (Civil No.

provisions of the Safe Drinking Act

(‘‘SDWA’’), 42 U.S.C. 300h–2(b), and its
