[[Page 17077]]

Court for the Middle District of Georgia in the lawsuit entitled United 
States v. Richard Middleton, et al., Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-00127-

    The proposed consent decree resolves the United States' claims 
against: Richard Middleton, Circle Environmental, Inc. and

Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') 
relating to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances 
into the environment at the Circle Environmental #1 and #2 Superfund 
Sites (the ``Sites'') in Terrell County, Georgia. Under the terms of 
the proposed consent decree, Settling Defendants will reimburse the 
United States' past costs in connection with the removal actions at the 
Sites in the amount of $285,000. In return, the United States agrees 
not to sue or take administrative action against Settling Defendants
