EDC has entered into the plea agreement and expects the United States to finalize the misdemeanor plea agreement within the next 7 to 14 days.  Under the misdemeanor plea agreement, EDC will pay a fine of $40,000.  As previously reported, in response to a maintenance emergency and to prevent an uncontrolled release, the equalization pond at EDC's El Dorado, Arkansas, facility was drained for repairs in September, 2001.  EDC's environmental compliance employee notified the appropriate state authorities of the discharge in the month end report based on what he deemed to be the proper procedure.  Although no adverse environmental conditions were noted at the time of the discharge, the government's position was that the discharge was not in compliance with EDC's water discharge permit and should have been reported to the appropriate authorities within 24 hours of the discharge.  Although there are no assurances, as of the date of this report, the Registrant does not believe that the plea agreement involving a misdemeanor will have a material adverse effect on the Registrant.
