controlled substances to register with 

DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 21 CFR 1301.11 and

so and are accountable.

of chain registrants. Chain registrants 

are those corporations and laboratories 

that maintain separate registrations at 

multiple locations (e.g., distributors) 

and may renew all their registrations 

using a single DEA Form 225b.

BILLING CODE 4410–09–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act (‘‘CERCLA’’) 

On January 23, 2015 the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed Consent 

Decree with the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of 

Washington in the lawsuit entitled 

United States v. Spokane County, 

Washington, Civil Action No. 15–00018. 

The proposed Consent Decree 

resolves the claims alleged in the 

Complaint, filed concurrently with the 

lodging of the Decree, against Spokane 

County under Sections 107(a) and 106 

of CERCLA, seeking the recovery of the 

United States’ response costs and 

performance of a removal action for the 

Vermiculite Northwest—Spokane 

County Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’). The 

County is the owner of the Site, which 

was formerly owned and operated as a 

vermiculite ore processing facility. The 

County installed a cap over asbestoscontaminated soils at the Site, and 

subsequently, EPA selected a removal 

action that requires the County to 

implement institutional controls that 

provide for, inter alia, maintenance of 

the cap and restrictions on soil 

disturbing activities that might cause a 

release of asbestos. The proposed 

Consent Decree requires the County to 

perform the removal action by recording 

and complying with an Environmental 

Covenant attached to the Decree and 

reimburse the United States’ past costs 

of $101,796.50, as well as future 

response costs.
