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

    On April 18, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Middle 
District of Florida in the lawsuit entitled United States v. General 
Dynamics Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 6:24-cv-00722. In the 
filed Complaint, the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), alleges that the Defendants are liable 
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607(a), for the releases and/or 
threatened releases of hazardous substances into the environment at the 
General Dynamics Longwood Superfund Site located at 1333 North U.S. 
Highway 17-92 Road in Longwood, Seminole County, Florida, which the 
Defendants owned and operated. The Consent Decree requires the 
Defendants to perform a Remedial Design and Remedial Action for the 
Site, reimburse EPA for its past response costs for the Site, and pay
