    On January 23, 2015 the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Washington in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 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 asbestos-contaminated 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.
