    In this action the United States sought judgment against defendant

acre former creosote wood treatment ``Plant Area'' located on the west 
side of Hull Avenue, a 35 acre portion of the adjacent ``Peace River 
Flood Plain Area'' to the west, and a 63 acre rural residential ``Oak 
Creek Area'' on the east side of Hull Avenue in Hull, Desoto County, 
FL.
    Under the terms of the Consent Decree, CSX will undertake the 
remedial action selected by the United States Environmental Agency for 
the Site. Further, the terms of the Consent Decree require CSX to 
reimburse the United States for past costs, all future oversight costs, 
plus interest, incurred or to be incurred in the future by the 
government in connection with the remedial action at the Site.
