DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On March 23, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Renaissance Land Associates II, L.P., et al., Civil Action No. 18-
01205-JD.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The 
United States' complaint names two related entities, Renaissance Land 
Associates II, L.P., and Renaissance Land Associates III, L.P., as 
defendants. The complaint requests injunctive relief in the form of 
performing certain remedial actions and recovery of response costs 
incurred by the United States in connection with Operable Units 1 and 2 
of the Crater Resources, Inc. Superfund Site (``Site'') located in 
Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Under the 
Consent Decree, the defendants agree to pay past response costs of 
$138,800 and pay the United States' interim and future costs related to 
negotiating the Consent Decree and overseeing the remedial action. The 
defendants also agree to implement the response action prescribed by 
EPA for Operable Units 1 and 2, namely, capping the remaining 
contamination to health-protective standards for residents. In return, 
the United States agrees not to sue the defendants under sections 106 
and 107 of CERCLA.
    If the defendants, which are commercial developers, convey their 
Site property in the future, the Consent Decree binds the defendants' 
successors to various operations and maintenance and institutional 
controls obligations. The United States' covenant not to sue the 
defendants extends to their successors provided that the successors 
execute a form requiring them to comply with various Consent Decree 
conditions. The covenant not to sue extends only to contamination that 
exists at the Site as of the effective date of the Consent Decree.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States Renaissance Land Associates II, L.P., et 
al., D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-1283/4. All comments must be submitted no
