Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under Sections 107(A) and 
113(G)(2) of The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act of 1980

    Notice is hereby given that on October 5, 2010, a Complaint was 
filed and a proposed Consent Decree was lodged in the United States 
District Court for the District of Utah in a matter captioned United 
States v. Mueller Industries, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:10-cv-00981-BCW.
    The Complaint is a civil action brought jointly by the United 
States and the State against Mueller Industries, Inc. (``Mueller'') 
under Sections 107(a) and 113(g)(2) of the CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a) 
and 9613(g)(2). The Complaint seeks the recovery of costs incurred and 
to be incurred by the United States and the State in response to 
releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at the Eureka 
Mills Superfund Site (``Site'') in Eureka, Utah., which the United 
States and the State of Utah allege are attributable to the activities 
of Mueller and its predecessors. The proposed Consent Decree resolves 
all allegations asserted in the Complaint and provides for a payment of 
$ 2,250,000 to the United States and $250,000 to the State of Utah. In 
exchange, Mueller receives from the United States and the State a 
covenant not to sue for past and future response costs for the Site and 
a covenant not to sue for certain property immediately adjacent to the 
Site, but only to the extent that releases from the adjacent property 
contribute to response costs incurred on-Site.

settlement. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
