Notice is hereby given that on March 2, 1995, a proposed consent
decree in United States v. Scovill, Inc., Civ. A. No. 3:95CV159, was
lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia. The complaint in this action seeks recovery of costs and
injunctive relief under Sections 106 and 107(a) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), as
amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986,
Pub. L. 99-499, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607(a). This action involves the
Arrowhead Plating Superfund Site located in Montross, Westmoreland
County, Virginia.

remedial action for the Site selected in the September 30, 1991 Record
of Decision issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
