By the terms of the proposed AOC for

de minimis settlement, the settling

parties will pay a combined total of

$668,695.88 to the Hazardous Substance

Superfund. This payment represents

approximately 9.9% of the

$6,748,001.01 in past and estimated

future response costs ($3,028,001.01 in

past response costs incurred through

September 30, 2000, plus $3,720,000.00

for the estimated future work at the

site). The money will be deposited into

a special account which can be used to

pay for future work at the Site. The

settling parties manifested 121,978.059

gallons of hazardous substances to the

Site. This amount represents

approximately 7.81% of the

1,561,451.371 gallons of hazardous

substances manifested to the Site by all

generators, both de minimis and non-de

minimis.

The amount that each individual PRP

will pay, as shown above, was based

upon the number of gallons of

hazardous substances manifested to the

Site. The total amount of settlement

dollars owed by each party to the

settlement was arrived at by adding

their Base Amount to a Premium

Amount. The cost per gallon of $4.32

was derived by dividing the estimated

clean-up cost at the time of calculation

of $6,748,001.01 by the 1,561,451.371

total gallons of hazardous substances

manifested to the Site. The settling

party’s Base Amount was calculated by

multiplying the cost per gallon by the

number of gallons that party manifested

to the Site. A fifty per cent (50%)

premium on the estimated future

response costs of $3,720,000 was

calculated into each settling parties’

payment.

To be eligible for the de minimis

settlement, each PRP must have

submitted a response to EPA’s Request

for Information, and must have

contributed no more than 1% of the

total volume of hazardous substances

manifested to the Site.

It is so Agreed:
