DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On May 3, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a Consent Decree
with defendant Buckingham County Board of Supervisors on behalf of
Buckingham County, a political sub-division of the Commonwealth of
Virginia (``Buckingham County'') in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Virginia. The Consent Decree resolves a
claim under Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, for past
and future response costs incurred in connection with the release of
hazardous substances at the Buckingham County Landfill Superfund Site
(``Site''), located in Dillwyn, Buckingham County, Virginia. The
Complaint filed concurrently with the Consent Decree alleges that
Buckingham County, who is the current owner of the Site, is liable for
all costs of removal or remedial action incurred by the United States
Government. The proposed Consent Decree obligates Buckingham County to
reimburse $125,000 of the United States' past response costs.
