DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
of 1980
On July 18, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Central
District of California, in the lawsuit entitled City of Colton v.
American Promotional Events, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. CV 09-01864
PSG [Consolidated with Case Nos. CV 09-6630 PSG (SSx), CV 09-06632 PSG

(SSx) and CV 05-01479 PSG (SSx)].
In this action, the United States filed a complaint under Section
107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Action (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, seeking to recover
response costs incurred in connection with the formerly named B.F.
Goodrich Superfund Site, which was subsequently renamed the Rockets,
Fireworks, and Flares Superfund Site (``RFF Site''). The proposed
consent decree (``Wong Consent Decree'') requires the Estate of Wong
(``Estate'') to pay five million nine hundred thousand dollars ($5.9
million) to be allocated as established by the consent decree between
the United States and Goodrich Corporation (``Goodrich Consent
Decree'') approved by the Court on July 2, 2013 (Dkt. No. 1821). In
return, the Goodrich Consent Decree provides, among other things,
certain covenants not to sue pursuant to CERCLA and Section 7003 of
