Act, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C.
9606 and 9607, the former General
Motors Corporation, now known as
Motors Liquidation Company (‘‘GM’’),
was one of several Settling Defendants
responsible for implementing a remedial
action to address releases and
threatened releases of hazardous
substances at and from the Ford Road
Industrial Landfill Site (the ‘‘Site’’) in
Elyria, Ohio. Pursuant to financial
assurance requirements of the consent
decree, GM obtained a performance

for bankruptcy in 2009, GM stopped
participating in implementation of the
remedial action at the Site.
Under the proposed Amendment to
Consent Decree, Westchester will
become a party to the consent decree
and become responsible for financing
implementation of the remedial action
at the Site, up to a $589,322 limit that
corresponds to the outstanding amount
of the original performance bond issued
by Westchester. Westchester’s
obligations will include: (1)
Reimbursing 50 percent of the response
costs incurred by the other Settling
Defendants between June 1, 2009, when
GM stopped participating in
implementation of the consent decree,
and the effective date of the
Amendment to Consent Decree; (2)
monthly reimbursement of 50 percent of
the ongoing remedial costs incurred by
the other Settling Defendants after the
effective date of the Amendment to
Consent Decree; (3) acceleration of
remaining payments (up to the $589,322
limit) in accordance with instructions to
be provided by EPA, in the event that
EPA takes over implementation of any
Work, pursuant to provisions of the
previously entered consent decree. In
addition, to guarantee performance of its
obligations under the proposed
Amendment to Consent Decree,
Westchester will establish a trust for the
benefit of EPA, and maintain a trust
balance that is equal to its outstanding
liability relating to the Site.
The Department of Justice will receive
comments relating to the Amendment to
Consent Decree for a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of this
