Notice of Lodging of a Consent Decree Pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United 
States v. Drum Service Company of Florida, et al., Civil No. 98-697-
Civ-Orl-28C, was lodged on April 13, 2001, with the United States 
District Court for the Middle District of Florida (``NAPA Decree''). 
The proposed consent Decree would resolve certain claims under section 
107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 9607, as amended, as well as certain 
claims under Florida law, brought against NAPA Properties, a Florida 
general partnership, and its individual partners and distributees 
(collectively ``Settling Defendants''), to recover response costs 
incurred by the Environmental Protection Agency in connection with the 
release of hazardous substances at the Zellwood Groundwater 
Contamination Superfund Site (``Site'') in Zellwood, Orange County, 
Florida. The United States alleges that NAPA Properties is laible as a 
person who owns a portion of the Site and as the successor of a person 
who owned a portion of the Site at the time of the release of a 
hazardous substance. The United States also alleges that the individual 
partners of NAPA are liable under Florida law for the obligations of 
the partnership. Under the proposed Consent Decree, the Settling 
Defendants will pay $502,813 as well as a portion of the proceeds of 
certain real property sold by the partnership, to the Hazardous 
Substances Superfund to reimburse the United States for response costs 
incurred and to be incurred at the Site.
