DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    Notice is hereby given that on September 14, 2011, a proposed 
Consent Decree in United States v. Illinois Central Railroad Company, 
Civil Action No. 2:11-cv-02790, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.
    In this action the United States, on behalf of the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), sought from the Illinois 
Central Railroad Company, (a) performance of the remedial design and 
the remedial action to address releases and threatened releases of 
hazardous substances at the Illinois Central Railroad Company (Johnston 
Yard) Superfund Alternative Site, located in Memphis, Shelby County, 
Tennessee (``the Site''), and (b) reimbursement of costs incurred and 
to be incurred by the United States for response activities undertaken 
and to be undertaken at the Site. The parties have reached a proposed 
settlement that requires Illinois Central Railroad Company to (a) 
perform the remedial design and the remedial action for the Site as 
provided in EPA's Record of Decision for the Site, and (b) to reimburse 
costs incurred and to be incurred by the United States in connection 
with the Site. The major components of the remedy include extraction of 
diesel phase separated hydrocarbon from the groundwater, followed by 
enhanced bioremediation as necessary, monitoring, and institutional 
controls to limit Site uses until cleanup goals are reached.
