DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of 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. Ormet Primary Aluminum Corporation, Civil Action No. C2-95-
947, was lodged on September 28, 1995 with the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The consent decree settles an 
action brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 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 Ormet Superfund Site 
in Monroe County, Ohio (the ``Site'') and for implementation of 
response action at the Site. The United States alleges that Ormet 
Primary Aluminum Corporation (``Ormet'') 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)(1) of CERCLA. The Consent Decree requires Ormet to 
reimburse the United States $128,070.73 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 12, 1994.
