Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on September 6, 2007, a Consent Decree 
in United States of America v. M.A. Hanna Plastics Group, Inc., et al., 
Civil Action No. 06-409-GMS, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the District of Delaware.
    The United States filed a complaint in June, 2006, against Sidney 
and Carol Maffett, M.A. Hanna Plastics Group, Inc., and the Wilmington 
Economic Development Corporation, to recover unreimbursed response 
costs that EPA incurred at the Site. The proposed consent decree with 
Sidney and Carol Maffett (``the Maffetts'') resolves the claims of the 
United States on behalf of EPA against the Maffets for past response 
costs under section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), in 
connection with the 12th Dump Site (``Site'') in Wilmington, Delaware. 
Pursuant to the consent decree, the Maffetts will reimburse $100,000 of 
EPA's past response costs, and will receive a covenant not to sue from 
EPA for past response costs as set forth in the consent decree.
