                    This Consent Decree will resolve claims asserted by the United States and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) in a complaint filed contemporaneously with the proposed consent decree against defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company (“UPRR”) for past costs incurred by the U.S.                           ( print page 78467)                        Environmental Enforcement Agency (“EPA”) and DTSC at the McCormick and Baxter Superfund Site in Stockton, California (“the Site”), and for injunctive and declaratory relief, pursuant to Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 6906, 6907. The complaint alleges that UPRR is liable for response costs and site cleanup associated with the unlawful disposal of hazardous materials at the Site as a current owner of the Site, pursuant to CERCLA Section 107(a)(1), and as a person that arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at the Site, pursuant to CERCLA 107(a)(3).                

The proposed Consent Decree  provides that UPRR will design and implement the remedy selected by EPA to address contaminated soils at the Site. In addition, UPRR will reimburse $1 million of EPA's past response costs and $900,000 of DTSC's past response costs at the Site.
