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

    Notice is hereby given that on January 18, 2008, a Consent Decree 
in United States of America v. Honeywell International Inc., et al., 
Civil Action No. 7:08cv00029, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
    The United States alleges that it has claims against Honeywell 
International Inc., H.W. Huff, Jr., Downtown East Limited Partnership, 
Downtown East, Inc., and DELP-2, LLC, under Section 107(a) of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), for reimbursement of its past response 
costs incurred at the Allied-Pulaski Superfund Site, located in the 
Town of Pulaski, Pulaski County, Virginia (the ``Site''). This action 
also involves EPA's claim under Section 106(b) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 
9606(b), for penalties for non-compliance with an EPA administrative 
order. The proposed settlement resolves those claims as set forth in 
the attached consent decree, which provides for reimbursement of 
$572,828.44 of the United States' past response costs, and for payment 
of a civil penalty of $23,500 by certain of the defendants.
