DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On November 6, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Rhode Island in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Estate of 
Amilio L. Zompa, et al., Civil Action No. 3:12-cv-00812-ML-PAS.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under Section 107(a) of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA''). The United States' complaint seeks recovery of costs 
incurred in connection with the Environmental Protection Agency's 
cleanup of hazardous substances at the Birch Swamp Road Superfund Site 
in Warren, Rhode Island. The Consent Decree requires the defendants to 
pay a total of $92,000 plus interest, and 82% of the net proceeds from 
the sale of two properties. The Decree also requires the United States 
on behalf of the Defense Logistics Agency to pay $475,000 to resolve a 
potential counterclaim for contribution under Section 113(f) of CERCLA.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
