Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

    Pursuant to Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
Liability Act
    Notice is hereby given that on October 15, 2008, a proposed consent 
decree (``Consent Decree'') in United States and State of Maine v. J. 
K. Wright, Inc. and J Kenton Wright, Civil Action No. 07-cv-116-B-W, 
was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of 
Maine.

reimbursement of past response costs pursuant to Section 107(a) of
