N.D. Ill.) and                     *In re J.P. Investments, Inc.,*                     Case No. 06-01037 (Bankr. N.D.

Investments bankruptcy estate for $5,087,276 in costs associated with the Midwest Metallics Site and it has asserted a claim against the James Pielet bankruptcy estate for $3,210,411.66 in costs associated with the H&H Enterprises Site.                

The proposed Consent Decree would resolve the United States' claims in the two bankruptcy cases in exchange for providing EPA: (i) A $700,000.00 allowed secured claim against the James Pielet bankruptcy estate, to be paid on a priority basis pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 725; (ii) a $2,510,411.66 allowed general unsecured claim against the James Pielet bankruptcy estate; (iii) a $3,391,517.33 allowed general unsecured claim against the J.P. Investments bankruptcy estate; and (iv) a $1,695,758.67 allowed general unsecured subordinated claim against the J.P. Investments bankruptcy estate.
