Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under Sections 107 and 113 of 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act

    Notice is hereby given that on March 14, 2000, a complaint and 
proposed Consent Decree (``Decree'') in United States v. the Lockheed 
Martin Corporation (D. CO) Civil Action No. 00-562, was lodged with the 
United States District Court for the District of Colorado.
    The United States filed this action under Sections 107 and 113 of 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. Secs. 9607 and 9613, and RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 
Secs. 6901 et seq. In the complaint, the United States Air Force 
(``USAF'') seeks, among other things, contribution from Lockheed Martin 
Corporation (``LMC'') for costs incurred and to be incurred by the USAF 
for response actions as the PJKS National Priorities List site in 
Jefferson County, Colorado (``Site'').
    The proposed consent decree resolves the USAF's CERCLA Sections 107 
and 113 claims against LMC and the contribution claims LMC could bring 
against the USAF under Section 113(f)(1) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 
Sec. 9613(f)(1). The proposed decree provides for a cash payment of 
$3.5 million over 10 years from LMC to the USAF and clean up services 
from LMC, specified under separate agreement with the USAF, that could 
ultimately reduce total clean up costs to the USAF by as much as $35.25 
million.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Decree. 
Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General of the 
Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice, 
Washington, D.C. 20530, and should refer to, United States v. The 
Lockheed Martin Corporation (D. CO), and D.J. Ref. #90-11-3-925/1.
    The Decree may be examined at the office of the U.S. Attorneys 
Office for the District of Colorado, 1961 Stout Street, Suite 1200, 
Denver, CO 80294. A copy of the Decree may be obtained by mail from the 
Consent Decree Library, P.O. Box 7611, Washington, D.C. 20044-7611. In 
requesting a copy, please enclose a check in the amount of $15.75 for 
the Decree or (25 cents per page reproduction cost) payable to the 
Consent Decree Library.

Joel M. Gross,
Chief, Environmental Enforcement Section, Environment and Natural 
Resources Division.
