DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Amendment to Consent Decree Pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA)

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR Sec.  50.7, notice 
is hereby given that a proposed Amendment to Consent Decree entered on 
February 7, 1992 in United States v. Beazer East, Inc., Civil Action 
No. S-91-767, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of California on July 24, 2003.
    The Consent Decree involved the settlement of claims brought by the 
United States pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act. The complaint contained claims seeking 
injunctive relief and the recovery of response costs incurred by the 
United States in connection with the release and threatened release of 
hazardous substances from a facility known as the Koppers Superfund 
Site in Oroville, California. The proposed and agreed upon Amendment 
would modify the Consent Decree by updating the Decree to accommodate 
two changes in the remedy and the implementation of necessary 
institutional controls.

days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed Amendment to Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to
