BILLING CODE 4310–MR–P
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA)
Notice is hereby given that on March
30, 2010, a Consent Decree in United
States of America v. the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. 10–
cv–1382, was lodged with the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania.
The United States filed a complaint
concurrently with the settlement
agreement in which it asserts claims
against the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania pursuant to sections 107
and 113 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9607 and
9613. The claims arise from asbestos
contamination at the Valley Forge
Asbestos Release Site (the ‘‘Site’’),
located within the Valley Forge National
Historical Park in Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. As alleged in the
complaint, beginning in the late 1890’s,
several companies owned and operated
an asbestos manufacturing facility on 46
acres within the Site. The
Commonwealth operated a State park at
the Site adjacent to the manufacturing
operations during the time of disposal of
asbestos-containing wastes, and the area
of the former State park also became
contaminated with asbestos-containing
wastes. In 1976, the United States
purchased the property formerly owned
by the asbestos manufacturers, and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
transferred the former State park to the
United States. The United States created
the Valley Forge National Historical
Park which is now comprised of the
former State park and the property the
United States acquired from the asbestos

manufacturers. In the complaint, the
United States, on behalf of the
Department of the Interior and the
Environmental Protection Agency, seeks
reimbursement of costs incurred and to
be incurred to remedy the asbestos
contamination at the Site.
The Settlement Agreement resolves
the claims of the United States and the
potential claims or counterclaims of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at the
Site. The National Park Service has
selected a remedy for the Site and,
under the Settlement Agreement, the
Commonwealth will pay sixty percent
of the cost of implementing the remedy
at the Site and the United States will
pay forty percent. Specifically, the
Settlement Agreement obligates
Pennsylvania to pay $5.2 million to the
United States upon entry of the
Agreement by the Court. No more than
one year after entry of the Agreement,
the Commonwealth will set aside $2
million into a special restricted account
which will be used to pay sixty percent
of the cost of performance of the remedy
at the Site above $8.66 million up to a
maximum of $12 million. In the event
that the costs of the remedy exceed $12
million, the Agreement provides that
the United States will pay $400,000 of
each increment of $1 million and
Pennsylvania will pay $600,000. The
United States as the lead agency at the
Site will oversee implementation of the
remedy.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of sixty (60) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to this proposed Consent
Decree. Comments should be addressed
to the Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and either e-mailed to

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Civil
Action No. 10–cv–1382 and DOJ #90–

States Attorney for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania, 615 Chestnut Street,
