26890 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 106 / Thursday, June 4, 2009 / Notices 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 6973, related to the 

releases and threatened releases of 

hazardous substances at the Puente 

Valley Operable Unit of the San Gabriel 

Valley Area 4 Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’) in 

Los Angeles County, California. The 

only differences between the Amended 

Consent Decree and the original are the 

addition of two entities related to 

Northrop Grumman Space & Mission 

Systems Corp. (‘‘Northrop’’ or 

‘‘Performing Settling Defendant’’), and 

some minor clerical edits. 

The Amended Consent Decree, like 

the Consent Decree that was lodged in 

February of 2009, resolves the liability 

of the Performing Settling Defendant 

and 43 cashout parties associated with 

17 source properties and their related 

entities (‘‘Contributing Settling 

Defendants’’) with respect to the 

groundwater contamination and its 

investigation and treatment as set forth 

in the Interim Record of Decision, as 

modified by the Explanation of 

Significant Differences. 

The Amended Consent Decree 

requires the Performing Settling 

Defendant, on behalf of all of the 

Settling Defendants, to construct the 

intermediate zone remedy to address 

groundwater contamination and operate 

it for eight years from the operational 

and functional date of the groundwater 

treatment system for the intermediate 

zone at an estimated cost of $21 million, 

pay $465,420.90 to EPA for past costs, 

and pay $90,000 to DTSC for past 

response costs. The Performing Settling 

Defendant represents that between 2002 

and June 30, 2007, it incurred costs in 

excess of seven million dollars ($7 

million) to implement the intermediate 

zone remedial action in compliance 

with Unilateral Administrative Order 

No. 2002–06 issued on March 21, 2002, 

pending negotiations of the Consent 

Decree. Settling Defendants who 

currently own source properties within 

the PVOU are required to provide access 

and all of the Settling Defendants are 

required to retain records and provide 

EPA access to information. The 

Amended Consent Decree gives all 

Settling Defendants a covenant not to 

sue. The Amended Consent Decree 

reserves the United States’ right to sue 

the Settling Defendants for the final 

Record of Decision and is subject to 

standard reopeners and reservations of 

rights. 

The Department of Justice will 

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days 

from the date of this publication,

Consent Decree. Comments should be

General, Environment and Natural

affected area, in accordance with 

Section 7003 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.
