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

    Under Section 122(i) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. 9622(i), notice is 
hereby given that on March 20, 2000, a proposed Consent Decree in 
United States v. Safe Tire Disposal Corp. and Safe Tire Disposal Corp. 
of Texas (``Defendants''), Civil Action No. 398CV2865-T, was lodged 
with the United States District Court for the Northern District of 
Texas, Dallas Division.
    In this action the United States, on behalf of the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), sought recovery of response 
costs arising from releases of a hazardous substance in connection with 
a tire fire that occurred on land owned by Safe Tire Disposal Corp., 
located in the City of Midlothian, Ellis County, Texas. The proposed 
Consent Decree requires the Defendants to pay $100,000 in partial
