                    Notice is hereby given that on August 26, 2010, an electronic version of a proposed Consent Decree was lodged in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia in                     *United States*                     v.                     *Tronox Pigments (Savannah), Inc.,*                     No. 408-259. The Consent Decree settles the United States' claims against Tronox Pigments (Savannah), Inc. (“Tronox Pigments”) for civil penalties and injunctive relief based on violations of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401*et seq.*                     (“CAA”) and implementing regulations, as well as a permit issued to Tronox Pigments by the State of Georgia pursuant to a State Implementation Plan (“Georgia SIP”) approved by EPA pursuant to the CAA and a permit issued to Tronox Pigments under Title V of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661-7661f (“CAA”) and Georgia's Title V regulations; violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. 6901*et seq.*                     and implementing regulations; violations of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), 33 U.S.C. 1251*et seq.*                     and implementing regulations; and a violation of Section 103(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9603(a) and implementing regulations.                

Under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree, Tronox Pigments will, among other things, apply for an amended Title V permit to include the air emissions limits contained in the consent decree upon any resumption of titanium dioxide production at the Savannah facility. The consent decree requires Tronox to continue performing a RCRA investigation and cleanup under State supervision, including addressing the new areas of noncompliance identified by EPA. For CWA compliance, Tronox Pigments will complete the excavation of the ditch system. Tronox Pigments and its affiliates have filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and under the consent decree a civil penalty of $4.2 million will be treated as an allowed claim. The consent decree resolves the litigation filed in the Southern District of Georgia.
