Notice of Lodging of Agreement and Order Regarding Modification 
of Consent Decree

    Notice is hereby given that on January 21, 2011, the United States 
lodged an Agreement and Order Regarding Modification of the Consent 
Decree entered in the matter captioned, United States v. The Kansas 
City Southern Railway Co., Civil Action No. 1:07-cv-1793, in the United 
States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Alexandria 
Division.
    The proposed modifications were jointly agreed by the United States 
and the Kansas City Southern Railway Co. The Consent Decree pertains to 
the cleanup of the Ruston Foundry Superfund Site located in Alexandria, 
Rapides Parish, Louisiana and, due to changes in the response action 
conducted at this Site, the parties agreed to make certain conforming 
modifications to the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree entered in this 
matter on January 14, 2008 required the Settling Defendant to clean up 
the Site to levels suitable for industrial use only, through excavation 
and offsite disposal. However, while performing the remedial work, the 
Settling Defendant was able to clean up the Site to levels appropriate 
for unrestricted use, including recreational and residential use. By 
this Notice and the attached
