    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that on July 26, 1994, a proposed Consent Decree in United 
States v. Elinco Associates, L.P., Civil No. 3:94CV1230, was lodged

and Partners will reimburse the United States $255,000 for costs 
incurred for the first and second operable units at the Site up to 
October 12, 1993. In addition, if Elinco sells the portion of the Site 
property that it owns, it will pay to the United States a portion of 
proceeds remaining, if any, after payment of an existing mortgage. The 
settlers also will pay a civil penalty of $30,000 for their failure to 
comply with a Unilateral Administrative Order issued to them by the 
Environmental Protection Agency requiring them to undertake response 
actions at the Site.
