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

In this action the United States sought recovery, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., of response costs regarding the Hows Corner Superfund Site in Plymouth, Maine (``Site'').
