    Notice is hereby given that on December 23, 2008, a proposed 
Consent Judgment in United States v. Citygas Gasoline Corporation, et 
al., Civil Action No. CV-03-6374, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
    The proposed Consent Judgment will resolve the United States' 
claims under Section 9006 of the Resource Recovery and Conservation 
Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6991e, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency against defendants Sidney Esikoff Family Trust 
(``Seft''), 141-50 Union Turnpike LLC, 83-10 Astoria Boulevard LLC, and 
2800 Bruckner Boulevard LLC (collectively ``SEFT Defendants''). The 
United States alleges that the SEFT Defendants violated the regulations 
governing underground storage tanks (``USTs''), set forth at 40 CFR 
Part 280, at the following facilities, which were automobile fueling 
stations with USTs that defendants have owned and/or operated: (1) 83-
10 Astoria Boulevard, Jackson Heights, New York; (2) 141-50 Union 
Turnpike, Flushing, New York; and (3) 2800 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, 
New York. The Consent Judgment requires the SEFT Defendants to pay a 
civil penalty of $325,000. The Consent Judgment also provides for 
injunctive relief to be implemented over the next five years at 141-50 
Union Turnpike, Flushing, New York, consisting of maintenance of 
ongoing compliance with the UST regulations, and submission of reports
