Mass.) No. 1:08-cv-10062-MBB, was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.                

In this action, the United States sought the recovery of response costs pursuant to Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Recovery Act, as amended (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), and the performance of response actions for Operable Unit 3 of the Iron Horse Park Superfund Site from Defendants Boston & Maine Corp.

Pursuant to the proposed Consent Decree, B&M, BNZ, and MBTA agree to perform the remedial action for Operable Unit 3 at the Site, estimated to cost a total of $23.53 million, and to pay all of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (“EPA's”) future response costs. EPA has agreed to provide $2.5 million in preauthorized mixed funding to reimburse the Settling Defendants for a portion of the response actions to be performed.
