 Because oral argument was not of material assistance, the 1

Court deems this matter suitable for submission on the briefs. 

E.D. Cal. Local Rule 230(g). 

2

The proposed Consent Decree was initially lodged with the

Court on February 24, 2010. Notice of Lodging was thereafter

published with the Federal Register on March 3, 2010, indicating

that the United States would accept comments on the proposed

Consent Decree with the City for a period of thirty (30) days. 

That comment period closed on or about April 2, 2010 and no

comments were received. The instant Motion was thereafter filed.

Given the terms of the Consent Decree negotiated between the

parties, the fact that no one posited any suggestion during the

aforementioned comment period that the Consent Decree was not

fair, reasonable, and consistent with the objectives of CERCLA,

the fact that no opposition to the present Motion was made, and

good cause appearing therefor, the United States’ Motion to

Approve Consent Decree (Docket No. 376) is GRANTED. The Court 1

will sign the Consent Decree itself, lodged on February 24, 2010,

concurrently with this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 12, 2010
