Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

    Notice is hereby given that on September 23, 2010, a proposed 
Consent Decree was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
Central District of California. The Consent Decree was lodged in the 
case United States v. Air Distribution Products, et al., Civil Action 
No. 2:10-cv-07056-GW (C.D. Cal.).
    The United States of America (``United States''), on behalf of the 
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency 
(``EPA''), and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control 
(``Department'') filed a complaint pursuant to Section 107 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, seeking reimbursement 
of response costs incurred or to be incurred for response actions taken 
in connection with the release or threatened release of hazardous 
substances at the South El Monte Operable Unit of the San Gabriel 
Valley Area 1 Superfund Site in South El Monte, Los Angeles County, 
California (the ``South El Monte O.U.'').
    Under the proposed Consent Decree, 15 potentially responsible 
parties with respect to the South El Monte O.U. will pay a total of 
about $2,007,095 (collectively). The settlement amounts are based on 
each settling defendant's ability to pay. In exchange for the payment, 
the plaintiffs covenant not to sue each settling defendant under 
Section 106 or 107 of CERCLA.
