## Summary

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York approved and entered a second amendment to the remedial design/remedial action consent decree relating to the site. The consent decree was first entered in 1998 and previously required four Settling Defendants, including SBC Holdings, Inc., to perform remedial work at the site and to reimburse EPA for certain response costs. SBC Holdings now lacks the ability to pay for future cleanup activities at the site (i.e., ongoing operation and maintenance activities) or to reimburse EPA for its future response costs. Pursuant to the terms of the second amendment, SBC will pay $150,000 to EPA and, in exchange, be released from further obligations under the consent decree and receive covenants not to sue and protection from contribution actions. The remaining Settling Defendants will continue to be jointly and severally liable for all work and costs at the site.
