DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On September 28, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Columbia in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Anthony Spanos, 
Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-01625-RJL.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''). 
The United States' complaint names Anthony Spanos, Inc., George A. 
Spanos, in his capacity as the trustee of the George A. Spanos Living 
Trust, and Gus Dinos as defendants. The United States' complaint seeks 
recovery of costs incurred and to be incurred by the Environmental 
Protection Agency in connection with the removal of hazardous 
substances at the Georgia Avenue PCE Site, located in Northwest 
Washington, DC. The consent decree resolves the United States' claims 
against George A. Spanos and does not resolve the United States' claims 
against Anthony Spanos, Inc. and Gus Dinos. George A. Spanos agrees to 
pay $125,000 of the United States' response costs and to perform the 
operation and maintenance of sub-slab depressurization systems at the 
Site. In return, the United States agrees not to sue George A. Spanos 
under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA.

the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
