Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    On October 7, 2014, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Massachusetts in United States v. Boston and Maine Corporation and 
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-
13804.
    The proposed consent decree would resolve the claims of the United 
States for injunctive relief and recovery of response costs against the 
defendants under section 106 and 107(a) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')

North Billerica, Massachusetts.
    The consent decree requires the defendants to pay $1,560,570 to the 
United States. The consent decree also requires the defendants to 
perform the remedial action described in the Environmental Protection 
Agency's Record of Decision for Operable Unit 4, dated July 25, 2011, 
and further described in EPA's Explanation of Significant Differences, 
dated July 22, 2014. In return, the United States agrees to resolve the 
defendants' liability under Sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA for 
defined matters related to Operable Unit 4.
