    Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
    
        In accordance with Section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 
    7413(g), notice is hereby given that on October 5, 1994, two proposed 
    consent decrees in United States v. Pacific Mechanical Insulators Inc. 
    Civil Action No. 94-0443-N-HLR was lodged with the United States

    October 4, 1994, alleges that defendants Pacific Mechanical Insulators, 
    Inc., Pacific Technologies, Inc., Olshan Asbestos Removal Corp. 
    (``Olshan''), and Potlatch Corporation (``Potlatch'') violated the 
    National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for asbestos,

    U.S.C. S 7412 during a 1989-1990 renovation of the Potlatch pulp and 
    paper plant in Lewiston, Idaho. The consent decrees resolve the United 
    States' claims only against Potlatch and Olshan and has no effect on 
    the claims against the remaining defendants. Pursuant to the proposed
