``Site''), Town of Deerpark, Orange County, New York. This Site is on 
the National Priorities List established pursuant to section 105(a) of 
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9605(a). This document is being published to inform 
the public of the proposed settlement and of the public's opportunity

    This settlement, memorialized in an Administrative Order on Consent
