 Department of Justice
 On January 19, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Fifth Amendment to Consent Decree (“Amendment”) with the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States*
                     v. 
                    *Point Ruston, LLC,*
                     Civil Action No. C91-5528 B. The Amendment constitutes a material modification of a 1997 Consent Decree (“Decree”) concerning the remediation of a portion of the Commencement Bay, Near Shore/Tide Flats Superfund Site in Tacoma and Ruston, Washington (“Site”) by Point Ruston, LLC (“Point Ruston”). The Amendment extends various remedial action deadlines for several parcels and accelerates the cleanup date for several other parcels. If Point Ruston meets certain criteria—timely payment of oversight costs due under the Decree and a demonstration of financing sufficient to fund the development and capping of a discrete parcel—it is eligible for a further extension. As a pre-requisite to the Amendment, Point Ruston was required to install groundwater wells and conduct a sampling event, pay $1,850,448.74 in stipulated penalties with interest, and pay taxes on five parcels at the Site that were in property tax foreclosure. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Amendment. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to 
                    *United States*
                     v.

                     D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-698. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice. Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail: *To submit comments:*
