Notice of Lodging of Settlement Agreement Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on August 4, 2004, a 
proposed Settlement Agreement in In re BII Liquidation, Inc., (f/k/a 
Burlington Industries, Inc.) No. 01-11282 (RJN) (jointly administered) 
was lodged with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of 
Delaware.
    In this action, the United States sought the recovery of responses 
costs associated with four sites; the Carolina Steel Drum Site, York 
County, South Carolina; the Industrial Pollution Control Superfund Site 
(``IPC'' site) Hinds County Mississippi; the J Street Site, Harnett 
County, North Carolina, and the FCX Statesville Site, Iredell County, 
North Carolina (Operable Unit 1). The Settlement Agreement provides 
that the claims of the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
for response costs at those sites will be treated as general unsecured 
claims in the following amounts: At the IPC site--$5,000; at the J 
Street Site--$160,038.50 and the FCX Statesville Site, Operable Unit 
1--$665,381.32. The claims of the United States at the Carolina Drum 
Site are withdrawn. With respect to the IPC, J Street Site, and FCX 
Statesville Site claims, the United States waives and releases any 
other environmental claims it might have at these sites except for, 
among others, natural resource damage claims.
