The original consent decree was amended on July 10, 1997 to include the final two parties in this matter. Pursuant to the original consent decree, and as amended July 10, 1997, Settling Work Defendants agreed to undertake future response actions at the Site. On September 28, 2001, EPA issued a ROD for the groundwater and soil remediation component of the Site clean-up. After further investigation and data collection, EPA amended this ROD in December 2006 by selecting in situ biosparging rather than extraction and treatment as the preferred remedy to address groundwater contamination at the Site. The proposed Second Consent Decree Amendment incorporates the Work required by the amended ROD for groundwater remediation at the Site. The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Second Consent Decree Amendment.
