Spokane County, Washington, Civil Action No. 15–00018. The proposed Consent Decree resolves the claims alleged in the Complaint, filed concurrently with the lodging of the Decree, against Spokane County under Sections 107(a) and 106 of CERCLA, seeking the recovery of the United States’ response costs and performance of a removal action for the Vermiculite Northwest—Spokane County Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’). The County is the owner of the Site, which was formerly owned and operated as a vermiculite ore processing facility. The County installed a cap over asbestoscontaminated soils at the Site, and subsequently, EPA selected a removal action that requires the County to implement institutional controls that provide for, inter alia, maintenance of the cap and restrictions on soil disturbing activities that might cause a release of asbestos. The proposed Consent Decree requires the County to perform the removal action by recording and complying with an Environmental Covenant attached to the Decree and reimburse the United States’ past costs of $101,796.50, as well as future response costs. 1 This registration requirement is waived for certain practitioners under specified circumstances.
