DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Amendment to Consent Decree Pursuant to the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA)

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed and agreed upon Amendment to Consent 
Decree Entered on May 18, 1995 in United States v. Scovill, Inc., Civil 
Action No. 3:95CV159, was lodged with the United States District Court 
for the Eastern District of Virginia on June 6 2002.
    The original Consent Decree involved the settlement of claims 
brought by the United States, pursuant to the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). It 
sought recovery of costs and injunctive relief for the Arrowhead

Virginia. The proposed and agreed upon Amendment would modify the 
Consent Decree by: (1) Conforming the groundwater remedy provisions of 
the 1995 Consent Decree to the requirements of the 2001 Record of 
Decision Amendment which replaced the pump and treat system selected as 
the remedy in the original ROD with a Permeable Reactive Subsurface 
Barrier (``PRSB'') and surface cap; (2) including an agreement where 
Saltire Industrial, Inc. (successor to Scovill, Inc.) agrees to 
undertake certain unanticipated work at the Site in exchange for a 
credit against future oversight costs incurred by the EPA; and (3) 
updating the representatives of the parties designated
