    Notice is hereby given that on November 23, 1999, the United States 
lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court 
for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Civ. A. Nos. J-C-98-362 and J-C-

Site). Under the proposed Consent Decree, defendants will complete 
EPA's remedy for the South 8th Street Site and pay an appropriate 
generator share of past and future costs at both sites, for a 
settlement package worth $6 million. In addition, the Federal Agency

broad access and institutional control provisions.
