EPA Lodges Proposed Consent Decree for Occidental Petroleum Site Cleanup

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has lodged a proposed consent decree under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) for the contamination at the former Occidental Petroleum (OxyChem) site in California. The EPA is seeking a court order to finalize the consent decree, which would require Occidental Petroleum to clean up the site and pay for the costs of the cleanup.
