                    Notice is hereby given that on August 15, 2008, two proposed Consent Decrees in                     *United States of America*                     v.                     *Camille J. Amato, et al.*, Civil Action No. 08-CV-6366 were lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of New York.                

In this action the United States sought to recover from the defendants response costs incurred by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in responding to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at or from the Penn Yan Superfund Site, located at 15 Waddell Avenue in the Village of Penn Yan, Yates County, New York (the “Site”). The two Consent Decrees memorialize two separate settlements and require the settling parties to reimburse EPA's past response costs related to the Site.

The first Consent Decree, between the United States and the County of Yates (“Yates County”) in the State of New York, requires that Yates County pay to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund the principal sum of $275,000, plus interest, in two installments of $137,500. The first payment is due within 60 days of entry of the Consent Decree, and the second payment is due by the first anniversary of that date.

The second Consent Decree, between the United States and Camille J. Amato, Thomas Amato, Penn Yan Boat Company LLC, Penn Yan Marine Manufacturing Corp., and Camille Properties, Inc., requires the settling parties to pay to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund the principal sum of $140,000, plus interest, in three installments. The first payment of $50,000 is due within 30 days of entry of the Consent Decree, with the second and third payments of $45,000 plus interest due on the first and second anniversary of that date, respectively.

                    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to                     *pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov*                     or mailed to P.O.
