DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Modification to Consent 

Decree Pursuant to Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation and Liability Act 

Notice is hereby given that on January 

16, 2009, a proposed modification of the 

consent decree in United States v. 

General Electric Company, Civil Action 

No. 05–cv–1270 (N.D.N.Y.), was 

executed between the United States and 

General Electric Company. 

The proposed consent decree 

modification will amend the consent 

decree entered in this matter on 

November 2, 2006, with respect to 

certain claims of the United States 

under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, Compensation 

and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et 

seq., relating to the release of 

polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into 

the Hudson River by General Electric 

Company (GE). In pertinent part, the 

proposed modification: (1) Adds 

provisions to the original consent decree 

regarding the reimbursement by GE of 

certain costs of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) relating to (a) 

the design and construction of a water 

supply line from Troy, New York, to 

provide the Towns of Waterford and 

Halfmoon, New York (hereinafter, the 

‘‘Towns’’), with an alternate water 

supply during the Hudson River 

dredging program specified in the 

original consent decree, and (b) the 

design, construction, installation and 

maintenance of a granulated activated 

carbon (GAC) system for the water 

supply wells of the Village of Stillwater, 

New York during the first phase of the 

Hudson River dredging program; (2) 

adds provisions regarding GE’s 

reimbursement of certain costs that 

might be incurred by EPA for the 

provision of water to Waterford and 

Halfmoon during the second phase of 

the Hudson River dredging program; (3) 

modifies certain of the water column 

monitoring requirements set forth in the 

original consent decree’s statement of 

work; and, (4) makes certain minor 

administrative changes to the original 

consent decree. 

The following is a summary of the 

modification’s provisions relating to the 

provision or treatment of drinking 

water. Under the modification, GE 

agrees to pay to the United States the 

lesser of $7,000,000 or all costs incurred 

or to be incurred by EPA relating to the 

design and construction of the water 

line and the Stillwater GAC system. In 

addition, if GE agrees to perform the 

second phase of the dredging program 

as provided in the original consent 

decree, GE will reimburse EPA for 50% 

of any costs paid by EPA during the 

dredging for water usage fees assessed 

upon the Towns, up to $750,000. 

Prior to filing the modification with 

the Court, the Department of Justice will
