Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on September 28, 2007, a proposed 
Consent Decree in United States v. Gould Electronics Inc., Civil Action 
No. 07-4645, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of New Jersey.
    The United States' Complaint in the case alleges that Gould 
Electronics Inc. (``Gould Electronics'') is liable to the United States 
under Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a) at the Magic Marker 
Superfund Site in Trenton, New Jersey. The Consent Decree settles the 
claims of the United States, on behalf of EPA, asserted in the 
Complaint. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, Gould Electronics and a 
contribution defendant, Ford Motor Company, will together pay $285,000 
in reimbursement of response costs incurred or to be incurred by EPA.
    On September 28, 2007, the United States also filed a ``Stipulation 
Between the United States and Exide Technologies Concerning Magic 
Marker Site and Proof of Claim'' (``Stipulation'') in the bankruptcy 
proceeding In re Exide Technologies, et al., 02-11125 (Bank. Del). 
Pursuant to this Stipulation, the United States will withdraw its claim 
filed in that bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Magic Marker 
Superfund Site. The Stipulation was filed contemporaneously with a 
stipulation between Gould Electronics and Exide Technologies providing 
Gould Electronics with an allowed claim against Exide Technologies in 
the bankruptcy proceeding. If the Consent Decree is not entered by the 
court, the Stipulation shall be null and void
