(CERCLA)
Notice is hereby given that on July 11, 1995, three proposed
consent decrees in United States v. Joseph M. Blosenski, Jr., et al.,
Civ. A. No. 93-1976, were lodged with the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 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. Secs. 9606,

West Caln Township, Pennsylvania.
Under the first proposed Consent Decree, the ``Generator Decree'',
twenty (20) settling defendants are required to implement future work
at the Site and pay past costs of approximately $3.175 million. In
addition, this Consent Decree resolves the United States' penalty
claims against two of these defendants. The second consent decree, the
``Blosenski Decree'', is a ``cash-out'' decree which requires a payment
of $1.1 million and resolves the United States' cost and penalty claims
against Joseph M. Blosenski, his wife Ada Blosenski and related
corporations. The third decree, the ``Barry Decree'' is also a ``cash-
out'' decree which requires a payment of $5,000 and resolves the United
States' cost claims against Alexander Barry.
