proposed Consent Decree in United States v. American National Can 
Company, et al., Civil Action No. 95-585-CIV-5-16, was lodged on July

    Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the settling parties will perform 
remedial actions at the site selected by the Environmental Protection 
Agency for soil and groundwater, will reimburse the United States for 
its past costs expended at the site, and agree to pay future costs 
incurred by the United States. Among the settling parties are the 
United States Department of Defense, and other agencies, who will 
participate in the cleanup and reimbursement of costs, and will take on 
responsibility for the site 30 years after the effective date of the 
Consent Decree. The Consent Decree includes a covenant not to sue by 
the United States under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA and under
