Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')

    Notice is hereby given that on October 12, 2010 a proposed consent 
decree (``proposed Decree'') in United States v. Rutgers Organics 
Corporation, Civil Action No. 04:10-cv-02113-JFM, was lodged with the

costs incurred or to be incurred by the United States as a result of 
releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances from the 
chemical manufacturing facility operated by Rutgers Organics Company 
located at the Centre County Kepone Superfund Site in Centre County, 
Pennsylvania. The proposed Decree requires the defendant to pay 
$136,331.98 to the United States in reimbursement of past response 
costs, and obligates the defendant to perform the remedy that EPA 
selected for the surface soils at the Site. The proposed Decree 
provides the defendant with a covenant not to sue under Sections 106 
and 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607(a).
