DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Antitrust Division


United States et al. v. Waste Management, Inc. et al.; Joint 
Motion To Modify Final Judgment

    Notice is hereby given that a Joint Motion to Modify the Final 
Judgment was filed with the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of New York in United States et al. v. Waste 
Management, Inc. et al., Civil No. 98 CV 7168 on October 23, 2001. The 
Complaint alleged that Waste Management's proposed acquisition Eastern 
Environmental Services, Inc. would violate Section 7 of the Clayton 
Act, 15 U.S.C. 18, by substantially lessening competition in waste 
collection and/or disposal in nine markets around the country. The 
Final Judgment in the case required, among other things, that Waste 
Management divest Eastern's Kelly Run landfill located in Elizabeth, 
Pennsylvania.
    A Competitive Impact Statement filed by the United States describes 
the Complaint, the Final Judgment, the industry, and remedies to be 
implemented by Waste Management. The Joint Motion to Modify the Final 
Judgment seeks an Order from the Court that Waste Management shall have 
no obligation under the Final Judgment to divest the Kelly Run 
landfill. Copies of the Complaint, Hold Separate Stipulation and Order, 
Final Judgment, Competitive Impact Statement, and the Joint Motion to 
Modify the Final Judgment are available for inspection in Room 215 of 
the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, 325 7th Street, NW,

York. Copies of any of these materials may be obtained upon request and
