Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On July 14, 2020, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts,
in the lawsuit entitled United States v.
280 Salem Street, LLC et al., Civil
Action No. 1:20–cv–11321.
The United States filed this lawsuit
under Sections 106, 107, and 113 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607,
and 9613. In its complaint, the United
States seeks (a) recovery, under Section
107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), of
response costs it incurred in conducting
response activities in connection with
the release or threatened release of
hazardous substances into the
environment at or from Operable Unit 4
(‘‘OU4’’), also known as the ‘‘Southwest
Properties,’’ of the Wells G&H
Superfund Site, located in Woburn,
Massachusetts (the ‘‘Site’’); (b) a
declaratory judgment, under Section
113(g)(2) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9613(g)(2), holding that all defendants
will be liable for any further response
costs the United States may incur as a
result of a release or threatened release
of hazardous substances into the
environment at or from OU4; and (c)
injunctive relief under Section 106 of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606, requiring that
Defendants take action to abate
conditions at or near OU4 that may
present an imminent and substantial
endangerment to the public health or
welfare or the environment because of
actual and threatened releases of
hazardous substances into the
environment at or from OU4.
Under the proposed consent decree,
three defendants (the ‘‘Performing
Settling Defendants’’), which allegedly
owned or operated facilities in OU4,
will perform a remedial action
estimated to cost approximately $19.1
million and pay 80 percent of EPA’s
future response costs, including costs of
overseeing this cleanup work. The

Settling Defendants’’), which allegedly
arranged for the disposal of hazardous
substances at OU4, will pay
approximately $3.9 million into a trust
fund for use by the Performing Settling
Defendants to help finance the remedial
work. As part of the settlement, EPA
will make available $4.8 million from a
special site account (from monies
obtained in prior settlements related to
the Site) to partially fund the remedial
action. The Performing Settling
Defendants are 280 Salem Street, LLC;
