Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980

    On July 18, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Central 
District of California, in the lawsuit entitled City of Colton v. 
American Promotional Events, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. CV 09-01864 
PSG [Consolidated with Case Nos. CV 09-6630 PSG (SSx), CV 09-06632 PSG 
(SSx), CV 09-07501 PSG (SSx), CV 09-07508 PSG (SSx), CV 10-824 PSG 
(SSx) and CV 05-01479 PSG (SSx)].
    In this action, the United States filed a complaint under Section 
107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Action (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, seeking to recover 
response costs incurred in connection with the formerly named B.F. 
Goodrich Superfund Site, which was subsequently renamed the Rockets, 
Fireworks, and Flares Superfund Site (``RFF Site''). The proposed 
consent decree (``Wong Consent Decree'') requires the Estate of Wong 
(``Estate'') to pay five million nine hundred thousand dollars ($5.9 
million) to be allocated as established by the consent decree between 
the United States and Goodrich Corporation (``Goodrich Consent 
Decree'') approved by the Court on July 2, 2013 (Dkt. No. 1821). In 
return, the Goodrich Consent Decree provides, among other things, 
certain covenants not to sue pursuant to CERCLA and Section 7003 of 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6973.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Wong Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
