                    Notice is hereby given that on May 19, 2010, a proposed Consent Decree between the United States of America and Rineco Chemical Industries, Inc. (“Rineco”) was lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas in the case of                     *United States*                     v.                     *Rineco Chemical Industries, Inc.,*                     Civil Action No. 4-07-CV-01189SWW.                

                    In December 2007, the United States filed a complaint seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties resulting from                           ( print page 29585)                        Rineco's failure,                     *inter alia,*                     to obtain a permit under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) for its ownership and operation of a Thermal Metal Washing unit (“TMW”), in violation of Section 3005(a) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6925(a); and applicable Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission regulations in connection with Rineco's fuel blending facility located in Benton, Arkansas.                

The Consent Decree requires Rineco to apply for a RCRA permit for the TMW and its related hazardous waste storage and control any fugitive emissions from the TMW at the facility; perform trial and risk burns for the TMW to identify appropriate incinerator level and risk based operating and control parameters for the unit; file a notification and description of hazardous waste activity for the TMW; and establish financial assurances for the TMW and its related hazardous waste storage. Rineco will pay a civil penalty of $1,350,000.
