Consistent with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that on January 13, 1999, a proposed consent decree in United
States v. Vermont American Corporation, Civil Action No. 2:99-CV-9, was

claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., on behalf of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') against Vermont
American Corporation relating to certain response costs that have been
or will be incurred at or from a Site known as the Parker Landfill
Superfund Site (``Site'') located in the Town of Lyndon, Vermont.
The consent decree requires the defendant to pay $350,000 to the
United States, $150,000 to the parties constructing the cap at the
Site, waive its claims against municipalities that disposed of
municipal solid waste at the Site and withdraw its adverse comments to
an earlier consent decree.
