Notice of Lodging of Consent Judgment Pursuant to Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    Notice is hereby given that on December 19, 2008, a proposed 
Supplemental Consent Judgment in United States v. Estate of Joseph 
Vazzana, Sr., et al., Civil Action No. CV-04-0620, was lodged with the 
United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
    An earlier Consent Judgment, entered by the Court on May 21, 2007, 
resolved cost recovery claims of the United States, on behalf of the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), under Section 107(a) of 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), in connection 
with the Spectrum Finishing Corp. Superfund Site in West Babylon, 
Suffolk County, New York (the ``Site''), against defendants Estate of 
Joseph Vazzana, Sr., Joseph Vazzana, Jr. (hereinafter collectively 
referred to as ``Settling Defendants''), and the approximately one acre 
of land located contiguously at 51 Cabot and 50 Dale Streets in West 
Babylon that comprises the Site (``Property''). The original Consent 
Judgment provided, among other things, that the Defendants would sell 
the Property and reimburse EPA for its response costs from the 
proceeds. This Supplemental Consent Judgment provides for the specific 
terms of sale and distribution of proceeds from the sale of the 
Property in accordance with a formula set forth in the Supplemental 
Consent Judgment. This Supplemental Consent Judgment addresses the 
claims to the Property made in this action by the County of Suffolk,

Office.
