SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: From 1969 to 1988, the MIG/DeWane Landfill 
received industrial and solid wastes, some of which contained hazardous 
substances. On August 30, 1990, U.S. EPA placed the Landfill on the 
National Priorities List. On March 29, 1991, U.S. EPA issued an 
administrative consent order concerning various responsible parties for 
a removal action at the Site. On May 15, 1995, U.S. EPA reached a de 
minimis settlement with other responsible parties. Gunite Corporation 
was not a signatory to either agreement.
    Gunite Corporation is a potentially responsible party that may have 
arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at the MIG/DeWane 
Landfill Site. Gunite Corporation's share of the waste delivered to the 
site is believed not to exceed 0.05% of the total waste delivered to 
the site.
    Pursuant to section 122(i) of CERCLA, the 30-day period for 
comments on the proposed settlement with this Respondent begins on the 
date of publication of today's notice.
William E. Muno,
Director, Superfund Division.
