## Summary

Dry cleaning operations have been conducted at the Site by numerous subtenant/operators from approximately 1965. The operations of one of the subtenants --  Stanton Cleaners Inc.

The Consent Judgment provides for the following: Defendant is required to pay EPA in two installments; the Settling Defendants agreed to provide first option to sell the Site Property to a prospective purchaser, Sabet Development Company, Inc. (Sabet) and should Sabet choose not to purchase the Site Property use their best efforts to sell the Site Property to a purchaser other than Sabet and pay EPA for its past response costs.
