Notice of Lodging of Stipulation and Order Pursuant to 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on February 26, 2007, a Consent 
Judgment (``CJ'') in United States v. Estate of Joseph Vazzana, Sr., et 
al. Civil No. CV-04-0620 (E.D.N.Y.) was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
    In this action the United States sued Joseph Vazzana, Jr. and the 
Estate of Joseph Vazzana, Sr. pursuant to Section 107(a) of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), for recovery of 
response costs regarding the Spectrum Finishing Corp. Superfund Site in 
West Babylon, Suffolk County, New York (the ``Site''). The complaint 
also asserted a claim in rem against ``One Acre of Land,'' i.e., the 
property comprising the Site. The property is subject to certain liens, 
and other parties have filed claims in this action regarding the 
property. The CJ requires Joseph Vazzana, Jr. to presently pay $1,000 
and requires the Estate of Joseph Vazzana, Sr. to additionally pay up 
to $1,100,000 from the sale of real property in the Estate. The latter 
payment will be made according to a method and schedule to be 
determined in a subsequent settlement, judgment, or other action that 
addresses, to the extent appropriate, the claims filed in this action 
with respect to the Site property.
