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

    On April 7, 2023, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of California in the lawsuit entitled United States v. County 
of San Diego, California, Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-01753-JO-NLS.
    This case relates to releases or threats of releases of hazardous 
substances at or from the Ramona Burn Dump Site, in San Diego County, 
California, in the Palomar Ranger District of the Cleveland National 
Forest. The case involves claims under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended 
(``CERCLA''), for, among others, injunctive relief and recovery of the 
United States' past and future response costs. The settlement resolves 
the United States' claims by requiring the County to: (1) undertake a 
non-time-critical removal action to address site contamination; (2) 
reimburse the United States' past response costs; and (3) reimburse the 
United States' future response costs.
