2011-26037. Notice of Lodging of Settlement Agreement Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

Notice is hereby given that on October 4, 2011, a proposed Settlement Agreement in the bankruptcy matter In re DPH Holdings Corp., et al., Jointly Administered Case No. 05-44481 (RDD), was filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Settlement Agreement between the United States and DPH Holdings Corp., f/k/a Delphi Corp., and its affiliated reorganized debtors (“Reorganized Debtors”) resolves claims and causes of action of the United States on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) against debtor Delphi Automotive Systems LLC n/k/a DPH-DAS LLC under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C 9601-75 (“CERCLA”), and Section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. 6973, with respect to the Tremont City Landfill Superfund Site in Tremont City, Ohio (“Tremont Site”), and the South Dayton Dump & Landfill Superfund Site in Moraine, Ohio (“South Dayton Site”).

Under the Settlement Agreement, the United States, on behalf of EPA, will have an allowed claim of $857,582.52. The allowed claim shall be allocated as an allowed claim of $559,292.95 for the Tremont Site and an allowed claim of $298,289.57 for the South Dayton Site. The effectiveness of the settlement is subject to the approval of a potential settlement of a tax refund action, Delphi Corp., et al. v. United States, Case No. 08 Civ. 4487 (PKC) (the “Tax Refund Action”), pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. If the Tax Refund Action settlement is approved, the allowed claim of $857,582.52 shall be applied as a setoff against the refund that would be owed to the Reorganized Debtors. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors will receive a covenant not to sue from the United States on behalf of EPA for the sites identified in this Notice, i.e., the Tremont Site and South Dayton Site.
