Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Relating to the Lemberger 
Superfund Sites in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United 
States v. Red Arrow Products Company, a Wisconsin Partnership, et al. 
Civil Action No. 96-C-0699, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, on May 6, 1996. This 
action was commenced pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601, 
et seq. in connection with the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site (#5-
3E), and the Lemberger Transport & Recycling Superfund Site (#5-J4), 
(See the National Priorities List in 40 CFR Part 300, Appendix B) which 
are located near the intersection of Hempton Lake and Sunnyslope Roads, 
near the town of Whitelaw, in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.
    The Operable Unit 1 and Operable Unit 2 remedial and removal 
actions at the two Lemberger Sites are being performed by a group of 
potentially responsible parties (the Lemberger Sites Remediation Group 
or the ``LSRG'') who signed a Consent Decree in 1992 and an 
Administrative Order in 1993 with the United States. The Red Arrow 
consent decree was signed by the United States, the State of Wisconsin, 
Red Arrow Partnership, the trustees for twelve trusts that form the Red 
Arrow Partnership, and Red Arrow Products Company, a Wisconsin 
Corporation (collectively ``the Red Arrow Defendants). In the decree, 
the Red Arrow Defendants have agreed to reimburse the United States 
$1,425,000 in past response costs, and Red Arrow Products Company has 
agreed to continue performing the Operable Units 1 and 2 remedial and 
removal actions for the two Lemberger Sites, as a member of the 
Lemberger Sites Remediation Group.
