Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, and 42 U.S.C. 
Sec. 9622(d)(2), notice is hereby given that on July 26, 1995, two 
Consent Decrees in United States v. Hercules, et al., Civil Action No. 
89-562-SLR, were lodged with the United States District Court for the

and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9606 
and 9607, with respect to the Delaware Sand & Gravel Superfund Site 
(``DS&G Site'') located in New Castle County, Delaware, against
