                    Notice is hereby given that two Consent Decrees in                     *United States of America*                     v.                     *M.A. Hanna Plastics, Inc., et al.*, Civil Action No. 06-409 GMS, have been lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The United States lodged a consent decree with defendant Wilmington Economic Development Corporation                     /                     (“WEDCO”) on August 8, 2008, and lodged a consent decree with defendant M.A. Hanna Plastics Group                     /                    “Hanna”) on August 14, 2008.                

                    The two consent decrees will resolve the liability of the two remaining defendants in this cost recovery action under Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act                     /                     (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9607 in connection with the 12th Street Dump Site in Wilmington, Delaware                     /                    (“Site”). On June 28, 2006, the United States filed a Complaint against four defendants who currently or previously owned or operated property at the Site. The United States previously settled with two of the named defendants.                

The two consent decrees now being proposed will resolve the United States' filed claims against the two remaining defendants, Hanna and WEDCO, as set forth in the consent decrees. Hanna will reimburse the United States $3,597,877.20 and will receive a covenant not to sue for past costs. WEDCO will reimburse the United States $120,000 in past costs and will agree to sell its parcel and provide the United States with the higher of either 50% of the net proceeds or $40,000.00. WEDCO will also receive a covenant not to sue for past costs.
