EPA Lodges Modification to Consent Decree Under CERCLA

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has lodged a modification to a consent decree under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), a federal law aimed at cleaning up contaminated sites. The modification involves changes to the terms of the original consent decree, which was reached between the EPA and a specific company, to address ongoing environmental concerns at a particular site.
