DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United 
States v. Hi-Mill Manufacturing Company, Civil Action No. 94-CV-60261-
AA was lodged on September 29, 1994 with the United States District 
Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The consent decree settles 
an action brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9601, et seq., 
(``CERCLA'') for costs incurred by the United States in responding to a 
release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Hi-Mill 
Manufacturing Company Site in Highland, Michigan (the ``Site'') and for 
implementation of response action at the Site. The United States 
alleges that Hi-Mill Manufacturing Company (``Hi-Mill'') owns and 
operates the Site at which hazardous substances were released and is 
liable for costs incurred by the United States in responding to such 
releases pursuant to Section 107(a)(2) of CERCLA. The Consent Decree 
requires Hi-Mill to reimburse the United States $169,871.30 for 
response costs incurred in connection with the Site and to implement a 
response action for the Site selected by the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency in a Record of Decision dated September 28, 1993.
