Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as 
Amended

    Notice is hereby given that on September 22, 1998, a proposed 
consent decree in United States v. Charles B. Foushee, Jr., et al., 
Civil Action No. 5:98CV124-MCK, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
    In this action, the United States sought reimbursement of response 
costs under Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, pertaining to the 
Caldwell Systems Site in Caldwell County, North Carolina. The United 
States alleged that two defendants, Caldwell Systems, Inc. and Charles 
B. Foushee, Jr., operated a facility that treated, stored, and disposed 
of hazardous substances at the Site. The United States also alleged 
that a third defendant, Caldwell Industrial services, transported 
hazardous substances to the Site for incineration and disposal. In the 
settlement, the defendants agree jointly and severally to pay the 
United States $141,500, an amount based on their ability to pay in 
settlement of the civil claims alleged in the complaint.
