DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive

Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United
States v. Hi-Mill Manufacturing Company, Civil Action No. 94-CV-60261-
AA was lodged on September 29, 1994 with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The consent decree settles
an action brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9601, et seq.,
(``CERCLA'') for costs incurred by the United States in responding to a
release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Hi-Mill
Manufacturing Company Site in Highland, Michigan (the ``Site'') and for
implementation of response action at the Site. The United States
alleges that Hi-Mill Manufacturing Company (``Hi-Mill'') owns and
operates the Site at which hazardous substances were released and is
liable for costs incurred by the United States in responding to such
releases pursuant to Section 107(a)(2) of CERCLA. The Consent Decree
requires Hi-Mill to reimburse the United States $169,871.30 for
response costs incurred in connection with the Site and to implement a
