    hazardous substances at a site operated by Moreco Energy, Inc., located 
    at 14445 Linwood St. in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, and known as

    (``Victory Lane Consent Decree''), Victory Lane Quick Oil Change, Inc., 
    will pay $24,000, plus interest, in six quarterly installments to the 
    EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund. Under the third Consent Decree 
    (``MNP Consent Decree''), MNP Corp. will pay $20,000, plus interest, in 
    five quarterly installments to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund. 
    Under the fourth Consent Decree (``Buggy Lube Consent Decree''), Buggy 
    Bath & Lube, Inc. will pay $12,330, plus interest, in five quarterly 
    installments to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund. Under the fifth 
    Consent Decree (``Levine Consent Decree''), H. Fred Levine will pay 
    $87,500, plus interest, in three equal installments to the EPA 
    Hazardous Substance Superfund.

    days from the date of this publication comments relating to the five 
    Consent Decrees. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
