DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    Notice is hereby given that on November 4, 2007, a proposed consent 
decree in United States v. Edward Shaw, et al., Civil Action No. 04-
2503-RDR-JPO, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Kansas.
    In this action the United States sought recovery of response costs 
incurred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in cleaning up 
asbestos contamination at a site near Shallow Water, Kansas. Based on 
financial information provided by the defendants, the government has 
concluded that the defendants have no ability to pay. The proposed 
decree terminates the case, contingent on the accuracy of the 
information that the defendants have given to the government.

days from the date of this publication comments relating to the decree.
