    The proposed decree provides that defendants will pay $10,000 in 
satisfaction of the violations addressed in the prior administrative 
settlement. The decree also enjoins the settling defendants either 
individually, or as a business enterprise or participant therein, from 
any conduct or business regulated under the Act, the Toxic Substances 
Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., the Federal Water Pollution and 
Control Act, 33 U.S.C. seq., the Federal Water Pollution and Control 
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 
300f et seq., the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., the 
Clean Air Act, 42.U.S.C. 7401 et seq., and the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 
et seq.
