Background
EPA issued its Final Decision and Response to
Public Comments outlining the final remedy for

Chevron USA, located in Chillum, Md. The
release impacts the neighboring Lamond-Riggs
Park community located in the District of
Columbia (D.C.).
Final Remedy
Subsequent to the Final Decision on the remedy
selection, EPA issued to Chevron USA, an
Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) which
specifies the work and the timetable upon which
Chevron must perform the required work to
implement the Final Remedy for the gasoline
release at the Chillum Site.
The AOC issued to Chevron became effective
January 2009.
