("COPA"), a not- for-profit organization whose mission is to protect the public health, environment, and property values in the Monroe County, Indiana area, and joins with the Indiana Public Interest Research Group ("InPIRG"), a not-for-profit public interest organization dedicated to consumer and environmental protection in the state of Indiana, through counsel Rudolph William Savich and Richard E. Condit, to move, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 60(b), that this Court vacate its August 22, 1985 judgments in the above captioned matter (approving a Consent Decree and denying InPIRG's Motion to Intervene). Under FRCP 60(b) Movants have an absolute right to request relief from judgment. They may file their request as an independent action, or file a motion. Because a motion is still pending before this Court pursuant to FRCP 60(b), Movants are seeking leave of the Court to amend this pleading consistent with recently discovered information. Movants are certain that upon reviewing their submissions to the Court today, there will be little doubt that justice requires granting leave to file an amended motion and supporting documentation. See, FRCP 15(a). This motion is based on the grounds that the Court's judgments regarding intervention and approving the consent decree are void, contrary to statute, procured by fraud and fraud upon the Court, inadequately protective of public health and the environment, and due to changes in material facts, circumstances, and law, no longer equitable to enforce. In support of this motion COPA and InPIRG state: 1. This Court, having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.  1331 and 1332 over the original actions in the above captioned cases, maintains jurisdiction for purposes of reviewing the resulting judgments pursuant to a FRCP 60(b) Motion for Relief from Judgment. 2. InPIRG's original Motion for Relief from Judgment was timely filed in this Court on August 22, 1986. 3. InPIRG, in its original motion, moved this Court to vacate its August 22, 1985 judgments approving a Consent Decree and denying InPIRG's Motion to Intervene in the above captioned matter. 4. In support of its original motion InPIRG relied on the grounds of newly discovered evidence, misrepresentation, fraud, and fraud upon the Court. 5. InPIRG requested that this Court hold an evidentiary hearing on the merits of its Motion. 6. No evidentiary hearing has been scheduled to date and InPIRG's Motion is still pending in this court. 7. Movants COPA and InPIRG have acquired evidence which shows that parties to the PCB Consent Decree and their counsel have misrepresented both critically important material facts and the central provisions of applicable law to this Court, other parties, and the public (including the Movants). 8. Movants have also acquired evidence showing that fundamental changes have occurred in the material facts and law upon which the Consent Decree was based. These changes in material facts and circumstances concern issues of central importance regarding, inter alia, the fairness, adequacy, reasonableness and appropriateness of the proposed decree. 9. At the requested evidentiary hearing Movants will prove that the parties fraudulently misled the Court that all known PCB contaminated sites were included in the consent decree -- when in fact the Westinghouse plant property itself and other known PCB contaminated sites were intentionally excluded from the decree. 10. At the requested evidentiary hearing Movants will prove that the parties fraudulently misled the Court that newly discovered sites would be included in the consent decree for cleanup in a timely manner -- when in fact there are many PCB sites that were excluded from the agreement and have been either ignored or acted on outside the agreement with inadequate site assessment and inadequate public notice and involvement. 11. At the requested evidentiary hearing Movants will prove that the parties fraudulently misled the Court that the proposed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) fueled incinerator was a safe and proven remedy -- when in fact it is has never been attempted anywhere before, MSW is the most experimental and least likely to be effective incineration fuel available, the concept has been explicitly rejected by EPA for use at a Superfund site in another region, and risk assessment based on recent EPA data and calculations demonstrate that exposures, through contamination of the local food chain, to the deadly chemical dioxin and other pollutants emitted from the proposed experimental incinerator will result in hundreds of cancer deaths. 12. At the requested evidentiary hearing Movants will prove that the parties fraudulently misled the Court that there was little public opposition to the agreement -- when in fact there was and is massive, informed, organized opposition to the plan with a clear majority of the public and local officials opposed to the proposed MSW fueled incinerator, including a majority of the business and university community. 13. At the requested evidentiary hearing Movants will prove that the parties fraudulently misled the Court that the Westinghouse incinerator plan as provided in the consent decree would comply with all applicable laws and regulations -- when in fact EPA and the parties planned to circumvent requirements in Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA also began an RI/FS as required by statute and regulation, then for an unknown reason canceled the study. 14. At the requested evidentiary hearing Movants will prove that the parties fraudulently misled this Court that the proposed Consent Decree on its face, and as implemented by the parties, would require compliance with all applicable law including state and federal environmental law such as the RCRA, and the TSCA -- when 1) in fact in 1984 Regional EPA officials actually sought in writing permission from EPA headquarters officials to allow them to intentionally waive fundamental requirements of both RCRA and TSCA, and 2) in fact EPA subsequently approved the proposed decree knowing that the terms of the decree violated those very federal law requirements, and in fact EPA had written policy documents which acknowledged that failure to complete the RI/FS studies, for which it had initiated work plans that it later canceled in Bloomington, and failure to take public comment on these studies prior to signing the agency record of decision (called an enforcement decision document) was a violation of both the Superfund regulations and the National Environmental Policy Act. Movants will prove that despite this agency awareness of the legal requirements and agency awareness that these requirements were not being complied with, EPA continued to misrepresent to this Court that the proposed decree incorporated a remedy chosen in compliance with all applicable procedural law and that this remedy was in compliance with all applicable substantive law. 15. Had this Court known of all these and other fraudulent misrepresentations, concealment by the attorneys and the parties, the Court would not have found that proposed intervenor InPIRG's interests were adequately protected by the parties and would have found the circumstances to warrant approval of InPIRG's motion to intervene. 16. Had it not been for these knowing, fraudulent misrepresentations made by the parties and their attorneys, this Court would not have concluded that the proposed consent decree was fair, adequate, reasonable, and appropriate. 17. Subsequent to the filing of InPIRG's original motion, substantial evidence has come to the attention of COPA and its counsel which shows that key circumstances and law have changed dramatically from the time of this Court's entry of the decree. These fundamental changes make the decree no longer equitable to enforce. Among the changes in Superfund in 1986 was the addition of an explicit statutory requirement for all NPL sites to receive an RI/FS. See, 42 U.S.C.  9616(d) (1986). 18. The consent of the Monroe County (County) and City of Bloomington (City) parties to the decree is invalid pursuant to the Indiana Open Door Law. The Indiana Open Door Law governs the decision-making process of such state government parties. Under this statute, any decision made by a government body pursuant to a procedure in violation of the provisions of the Indiana Open Door Law is void. InPIRG brought violations by the County and City of the Open Door Law to the attention of the Indiana courts. The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that InPIRG's Open Door violation claims could not be heard in the State courts because, as of the time of the appellate decision, a finding by the state courts that the County and City had violated the Open Door Law in deciding to approve the proposed federal PCB Consent Decree would void that decree which had subsequently been entered by the federal court, and thus InPIRG's suit was a collateral attack on the federal judgment and should be brought instead directly before the federal court. InPIRG, pursuant to the instant motion, now brings these violations to the attention of this Court. Furthermore, Monroe County's approval of the consent decree was expressly conditioned upon the truth of the assurances it received that the consent decree was in complete compliance with all federal, state, and local laws. See, Resolution 85-16 (exhibit 23). The failure of the EPA to conduct a RI/FS constitutes such a violation of federal law so as to vitiate the County's consent. 19. The consent of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is invalid as a result of violations of federal laws which govern the decision process of the EPA in selecting a remedy for Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) hazardous waste sites. 20. COPA and InPIRG have standing to file this Motion because they have members directly affected by the economic, health and environmental impacts of the decree, and as parties having knowledge of fraud upon the court and violations of law perpetrated by the parties to the decree. 21. Pursuant to FRCP 7(b)(1) and 9(b), which require particularity in the statement of grounds for motions and in the pleading of fraud on the court, Movants make the following further statements in support of the instant motion. 22. The fraud on the court and the public involves a pattern of improper actions by the parties' attorneys and the parties which has spanned a sixteen year period. In order for this Court to fully understand the depth of this fraud, an evidentiary hearing is required. The essential elements of this fraud on the court and on the public is described below, in chronological form. 23. In 1975 a major hazardous waste contamination problem was publicly disclosed in Bloomington, Indiana, to wit: the fact that Westinghouse had disposed of PCBs in the Bloomington sewer system and area landfills. 24. In 1976 the Indiana Environmental Management Board conducted hearings on the scope of and responsibility for the pollution, with both the City of Bloomington and Westinghouse named as defendants. 25. In 1977 prior to completion of the hearings, the State granted a request by these two defendants, the City of Bloomington (City) and Westinghouse, the company responsible for the contamination, to indefinitely postpone further hearings in order to allow the City and Westinghouse to privately negotiate. 26. From 1977-1981 the City and Westinghouse, defendants in the state hearings and both potentially responsible parties having strict liability for cleanup of sites where their waste was disposed or which they owned and operated, negotiated regarding cleanup of the Winston-Thomas sewage plant, a City owned property, with the ongoing hazard at this and other sites going unremediated during these years. 27. Prior to and during 1981, EPA conducted investigations and assessments of the Westinghouse plant property itself which confirmed PCB and hazardous waste contamination on that site. EPA detected 1,100 parts per million (ppm) of PCBs in sediment from a water runoff ditch and found high levels of contamination in runoff water at the Westinghouse site. The Neal's Landfill and Neal's Dump site were also being investigated during this time period. 28. In 1980, the Superfund statute was passed by the U.S. Congress creating strict liability for clean up costs for NPL sites such as Lemon Lane, Neal's Landfill and Dump, and Bennett's Quarry. 29. In 1981 the City filed (in this Court) a common law nuisance, negligence and trespass action against Westinghouse concerning the City owned sewage plant, and later in 1981 amended this complaint to include the Lemon Lane Landfill, also City owned and operated, contamination of which was publicly disclosed in 1981. 30. In January 1983, approximately two years later, while the City and Westinghouse continued litigation without resolution, the EPA filed a complaint in this Court against Westinghouse under the RCRA and sections 104, 106, and 107 of Superfund to compel Westinghouse to cleanup two sites, Neal's landfill and Neal's Dump, and to obtain reimbursement from Westinghouse of approximately $2 million in EPA monies already spent on limited protective measures on these two sites. Conspicuously absent from this EPA complaint was any reference to the Westinghouse plant property which was known to be contaminated. Also absent from the EPA complaint was the Bennett's Quarry site which was reported to the Monroe County Health Department in March of 1983. In 1983, EPA staff visited the Bennett's site and wrote a preliminary report disclosing major site contamination problems. 31. In July 1983 following EPA's suit in January of 1983, EPA prepared limited assessments of remedial alternatives for the Neal's Dump and Neal's Landfill sites, both sites eventually qualified for placement on the Superfund NPL. EPA's assessments did not address the garbage fueled PCB soil incineration remedy ultimately "chosen" (which was unknown to and unanticipated by EPA at that time), but evaluated the feasibility and cost of either capping contaminated soils or removing the soil to an out-of-state landfill and the capacitors to a conventional incinerator out-of-state. 32. These 1983 EPA studies did not address the critical components of the remedy actually selected later (as a result of the Westinghouse/City negotiation proposal to EPA) including the concept of incineration of 700,000 tons of PCB contaminated soils, and the experimental idea of using municipal garbage as a fuel for incineration of hazardous waste. Nor did EPA address the central question of environmental, public health and economic impacts of the proposed incineration technology on the Bloomington area. 33. In 1983, EPA signed Enforcement Decision Documents (EDDs or Enforcement Records of Decision) selecting the remedy to be sought in litigation on the Neal's Landfill and Neal's Dump sites (capping the hazardous waste in place and shipment of certain hazardous waste out of state, not the MSW incineration plan later proposed by Westinghouse). EPA did not release these decision documents to the public nor seek comment on them, just as there had been no public comment allowed on the remedial alternative studies of the two Neal's sites. Apparently, these EPA decision documents on the Neal's sites were also withheld from this Court, as well as from the public, along with the secret EDD selecting the Westinghouse incineration plan, during the time when the Court and the public were reviewing the proposed consent decree. 34. In 1983, the remedy initially selected by EPA did not involve incineration in Monroe County nor garbage as fuel for incineration. The initial EPA remedy did require leaving some PCB waste in the ground in Monroe County (with a cap) and required the remaining waste be transported out of state and disposed of in some other community. Both of these options were later described by the City and other parties, during efforts to persuade the public to support the Westinghouse proposal for MSW fueled incineration in Monroe County, as unacceptable as a matter of policy. No explanation was presented to the public during the comment period on the proposed decree as to why EPA had initially selected these options if they were as unacceptable as the City and other parties later claimed. 35. EPA documents dated 1982-1985 completely contradict EPA's current position that a Remedial Investigation/ Feasibility Study (RI/FS) was not required of, and therefore not done by, EPA at Superfund sites during the 1982-1985 period during which the Bloomington Superfund cleanup settlement was negotiated. These EPA documents demonstrate that EPA in fact referred to the study EPA performed on Neal's Landfill as an "RI/FS", that EPA planned "RI/FS"s for the other Bloomington NPL sites but later canceled these plans, and that EPA has routinely conducted an RI/FS at every other Superfund remedial site in the country, from 1981 - present. 36. Documents dated in 1983, acquired by Movants, show that EPA had actually developed a work plan for conducting an RI/FS for the Lemon Lane site (also an NPL site) and an RI/FS for the Bennett's Quarry site (an NPL site). 37. In September 1983 the EPA had gone as far as seeking and obtaining from the state of Indiana review and comments on the EPA work plan for the Lemon Lane RI/FS. Mysteriously, these Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Studies on the Lemon Lane Landfill site and on the Bennett's Quarries site were never completed. The existence of the work plan was never revealed to the public and presumably not to this Court. Despite numerous FOIA requests submitted to EPA by Movants, which should have released the work plan into the public domain, it has yet to be produced. 38. In October of 1983, less than three months after EPA had selected the remedy for the two Neal's sites (and less than one month after EPA had received State comments on the RI/FS work plans for the Bennett's and Lemon Lane sites) the City and Westinghouse announced a proposed settlement of their litigation on the two City properties, the Lemon Lane Landfill and the Winston-Thomas sewage treatment plant. This proximity in timing is unlikely to be coincidence and suggests the strong possibility that the City and Westinghouse influenced the EPA to abandon the plan to complete an RI/FS. The City and the State of Indiana both had liability concerns regarding the Lemon Lane Landfill as an NPL site and any contamination resulting therefrom. Under the federal Superfund statute and regulations, as EPA acknowledges, states must pay at least 50% of EPA cleanup expenditures at NPL sites that were municipally owned and operated. Of course, such liability would not be found where another party can be shown to be responsible for the contamination. 39. Thus in 1983, as a result of the passage of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) in 1980, the City and State had an interest in minimizing the extent of contamination viewed by EPA as Lemon Lane related and had a similar interest in avoiding entirely an EPA directed and funded cleanup of Lemon Lane. These City and State interests in avoiding liability under Superfund were not, and are not, synonymous with the interest of the public and Movants in expediting full assessment of Lemon Lane and related contamination and cleanup by whoever and whatever means most protects the public health and environment. 40. In 1983 and 1984, as a consequence of these special interests of the City and State in minimizing their strict liability under Superfund and perhaps in covering up delay and errors by City and State officials in their handling of waste sites and waste site information in the past, several major decisions were made by the City, State, and Westinghouse that did not reflect the interests of the public at large, and of Movants specifically. 41. First, in 1983, the State of Indiana requested that EPA should restrict the scope of the planned RI/FS on Lemon Lane Landfill to exclude study of known and suspected contaminated areas around Lemon Lane Landfill. Such areas as the nearby wooded depression and other local areas were known by EPA to be contaminated with PCBs originating from Lemon Lane Landfill. 42. Second, in October 1983, the City of Bloomington and Westinghouse privately agreed on a garbage fueled incineration plan that required taxpayers to pay Westinghouse to burn local garbage in the proposed incinerator, and requested EPA to join in negotiating this proposal as a settlement of the EPA litigation on the two Neal's sites and the recently discovered Bennett's site. 43. The parties have represented to the public, local officials and this Court that the MSW fueled incineration plan was selected on the basis of criteria specified in the environmental statutes and regulations, that the MSW fueled incineration plan was selected because it was a proven technology, and that the MSW fueled incineration plan was selected because it would be more protective of public health and environment than other alternatives. It is now clear, based on a confidential memo sent from City attorney Joseph Karaganis to County officials, that the only reason MSW fueled incineration was selected was as a financial incentive to Westinghouse. 44. The October 1983 agreement between the City and Westinghouse, which has been incorporated into the current consent decree, involves payment by the City and County of a per ton tipping fee to Westinghouse for every ton of garbage burned (as fuel) in the proposed PCB incinerator. The exact amounts to be paid can not be calculated with precision at this time. However, it is clear that under this arrangement that taxpayers would end up shouldering most if not all of Westinghouse's cleanup costs. The tipping fee is tied to the fee at the Monroe County Landfill. Estimates by Westinghouse and County officials of the amount of this fee at the time the incinerator would go on line have ranged from $15/ton to $50/ton. The incinerator is proposed to burn at least 150 tons of garbage per day, and would operate from 300-350 days per year, for 15 years (possibly longer). 45. The 1983 MSW tipping fee agreement between the City and Westinghouse would result in tipping fees to Westinghouse in the tens of millions of dollars, which is exactly the range Westinghouse anticipates the cleanup costs to fall into. Westinghouse publicly disputed the cleanup cost estimates by the State of Indiana of $50 million dollars as being excessively high. Further, Westinghouse plans to generate steam and electricity from the incinerator which it will sell for additional millions of dollars. Westinghouse has also used EPA, state and court approval of its incineration plan as a de facto endorsement to launch itself into the garbage and hazardous waste disposal business nationally, generating additional millions. Thus, there is some real basis for Westinghouse's statement to the media that it does not expect this cleanup decree to affect its earnings negatively. It is the City and County taxpayers who must bear the cost of Westinghouse's reckless disposal of toxic and hazardous wastes. 46. Although later, in December 1984 and 1985 the terms of the proposed decree were made public, this Westinghouse financial incentive basis for the 1983 remedy selection by the City and Westinghouse, which was later incorporated into the December 4, 1984 remedy selection by EPA, was never disclosed to the public as such nor, to Movants' knowledge, to this Court. The "confidential" memo from City attorney Karaganis to County officials which makes this financial incentive rationale clear was discovered only after the public comment period had expired and this Court had entered the decree. Financial incentive for the polluting industry is not a valid criteria for remedy selection under Superfund, and even if it were, it was not disclosed as a basis for the decision during the public review and comment period. 47. In 1983 and 1984, the only conceivable basis for the City and State accepting such an experimental plan (garbage has never been used before as fuel for hazardous waste incineration and is known to have highly variable heat value) and such a costly plan (the tipping fees agreed to be paid to Westinghouse would be at least twice as high, and likely several times as high, as the current landfill rates for garbage disposal) -- and the only conceivable reason for the City and State accepting the idea of a polluter being paid by taxpayers to cleanup contamination resulting from the polluter's own reckless acts, a concept offensive on its face to public policy -- is the City's and State's concern with their strict liability under Superfund for Lemon Lane and related contamination. This contamination would have cost millions of dollars to cleanup. 48. While normally a private party to litigation such as a corporation would be allowed to trade off liability concerns for payments and technology changes without the resulting agreement being considered unfair, inadequate, unreasonable or inappropriate, the situation is different for government parties involved in environmental contamination litigation. The government parties have interests to protect on behalf of the public including public health and environmental quality which go well beyond considerations of financial liability, or face-saving for individual officials. 49. The third 1983-1984 action by the City and Westinghouse which was not in the public interest was that, as the secret negotiations ensued totally out of the public view and out of the view of this Court, EPA was apparently persuaded to drop entirely its planned Remedial Investigations/Feasibility Studies for both the Lemon Lane and Bennett's sites. EPA seemed to ignore its statutory obligation under the National Environmental Policy Act and regulatory obligation under the Superfund National Contingency Plan (NCP) to conduct either an RI/FS or a more comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 50. EPA has a history, from 1982 through 1985, and to this day, of consistently performing an RI/FS at every NPL site in the nation (except in Bloomington) and has consistently from 1982 through 1985, and to the present, acknowledged explicitly its legal obligation under NEPA and the NCP to do so, by way of an endless list of official EPA policy documents, memoranda, and federal register notices, and in promulgating the NCP regulations themselves, both in 1982 and in 1985. This mass of indisputable evidence directly contradicts representations made by EPA to this Court, the public and local officials. The position EPA currently expresses to the public, local government, Congress and the federal courts to the effect that EPA had no such statutory and regulatory obligations to conduct an RI/FS or EIS is misrepresentation and post hoc rationalization, pure and simple. Movants will present indisputable evidence of this to the Court at the requested evidentiary hearing. 51. It must be emphasized that from 1984-1991, throughout over six years of continual public and administrative petitions and challenges by Movants and other concerned citizens alleging that EPA had such obligations to conduct an RI/FS or EIS for the Bloomington NPL sites, EPA has maintained its posture with the public and officials alike that these studies were not required by law and that this is why the studies were not performed by EPA for the Bloomington sites. EPA maintained this false posture never once disclosing that it had acknowledged its obligation to do these studies in innumerable official documents, never once disclosing that it had actually performed, in its view, an RI/FS on Neal's Landfill, and never once disclosing that it had even initiated work plans to perform an RI/FS on both the Lemon Lane and Bennett's sites, only to decide not to go through the studies. 52. The fourth action, or failure to act during the 1981-1987 period, by the parties pursuant to the decree that was clearly counter to the public interest and the interest of Movants was the failure of the City to take protective measures at the Lemon Lane Landfill to prevent excessive exposure to cancer causing chemicals emitted into the air and water from the site. The EPA and the State of Indiana had separately submitted written directions to the City in 1981 to take such protective measures at the site, including the placement of a protective cap on the site which would have prevented excessive air emissions of PCBs and other dangerous chemicals, as well as reducing water contamination. 53. Unfortunately, the City refused to pay for placement of such a cap and the State and EPA both failed to either take the protective measure of capping the site themselves or to take enforcement action against the City or Westinghouse to require them to do so. However, in 1983 EPA took samples of air over the Lemon Lane site and analyzed the PCB emissions into the air from the site. EPA found that levels of PCBs were being emitted into the air from the site and found that in comparison, that a similarly contaminated site in another state that had been capped had virtually no air emissions after the capping. The risk of cancer estimate for the air emissions from the Lemon Lane site was 1,000 per 1,000,000 population. 54. Unfortunately, the EPA did not inform the residents living around this site of the high PCB levels being emitted into the air and the risk posed by such PCB emissions to the nearby residents. According to an internal State memo state employees were instructed to wear respiratory protection equipment at the site. And, according to the memo, were further instructed by EPA not to reveal the extent of the air contamination risk to the public. The EPA, for reasons which are unclear, took no action to cap the site despite the incontrovertible evidence which it had just developed showing the urgent need to do so. 55. EPA failed to take any action to cap the site or to warn the residents not only during the three years prior to EPA's PCB air tests in 1983, but also failed to take such protective measures for four additional years thereafter. It was only in 1987 that EPA finally announced to the public that capping the site was "urgent" because the PCB air emissions from Lemon Lane posed a tremendously high cancer risk to the residents of one thousand additional cancer cases per million, one thousand times higher risk than EPA routinely considers as unacceptable. This belated 1987 EPA action, based on calculations of risk using the 1983 data, was apparently prompted not by concern for residents' health but by a desire to persuade the City and local citizens to cease their insistence that Westinghouse test the Lemon Lane site for the deadly chemical dioxin prior to moving contaminated surface material from the site into the city for "temporary" storage. 56. The fifth action taken in 1983-1984 which was clearly counter to the interests of the public and Movants, and the last one to be detailed here, was that EPA and the State omitted the Westinghouse facility itself, and apparently other sites, from the cleanup plan. The State had previously not only acknowledged the facility as contaminated but had stated that the omission of the facility from the cleanup plan would be a major fault in the proposal. The County also requested that the Westinghouse site be included in the plan. Other sites have been reported and confirmed as contaminated with PCBs both before and after the decree was entered by this Court. Some have been ignored by the parties, and some have been addressed by EPA outside of the decree process over the objection of citizens. None have been included in the decree process, in direct contradiction to representations made by attorneys for the parties in direct response to questions from this Court at a status conference prior to this Court deciding to enter the decree. 57. Had the true basis for the selection of MSW fueled incineration and for the exclusion of other contaminated sites from the proposed plan been revealed to this Court, the Court's judgments approving the proposed decree and denying InPIRG intervention would have been different. Had the Court been informed that EPA had originally selected a different, less experimental remedy, and that state and county officials had originally sought to include the contaminated Westinghouse plant property in the proposed cleanup plan, the Court's judgment's would have been different. 58. The City and Westinghouse motivated by their financial liability under Superfund, may well have undertaken to convince EPA to secretly cancel EPA's planned Remedial Investigations/ Feasibility Studies and circumvent public review and comment on the RI/FSs. Equally disturbing and unprecedented nationally, EPA decided to keep secret EPA's Record of Decision (EDD) itself during the entire period for public and court review of the proposed decree. These improper agency actions have accomplished, at least thus far, the illegal purpose of avoiding a comparison of the feasibility and impacts of the proposed experimental MSW fueled PCB soil/sludge incinerator with the feasibility and environmental impacts of alternatives. The parties undoubtedly anticipated that if they followed the RI/FS and public comment procedure required by law that their experimental proposal would receive a level of scientific and legal scrutiny from the Bloomington/Indiana University community that the proposal could not survive. Had the Court known of this misconduct and circumvention of the procedures required by law which resulted in an incomplete and misleading record being presented for this Court's review, this Court's judgment's would have been different. 59. In December of 1984, after nine years of delay, a proposed settlement among EPA, Westinghouse, the City, and the State of Indiana was announced. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially selected the remedy for the four National Priorities List (NPL) sites in the Bloomington, Indiana area (and for two non-NPL sites as well) when EPA signed the Enforcement Decision Document (EDD) on December 4, 1984. No written analysis of alternatives had been conducted for two of the four NPL sites (Lemon Lane Landfill and Bennett's Quarry sites) and for the two non-NPL sites (Winston-Thomas sewage plant and Anderson Road Landfill sites). The two sites that were allegedly studied (Neal's Dump and Landfill) no analysis of the Westinghouse incineration plan, or any incineration plan, was considered. To date, no such analyses have been conducted for these four sites. Similarly, no written analysis of environmental impacts of the selected remedy and of alternative remedies has ever been produced by EPA. Consequently, EPA's decision to choose the clean up remedy provided for in the consent decree, was clearly arbitrary and capricious. 60. The first public meeting to take comment on the proposed consent decree which emerged from the secret negotiations was held December 5, 1984, one day after EPA signed the ROD/EDD. Public comment came after the remedy selection was completed. Neither a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) nor an environmental impact statement (EIS), nor any type of written analysis of alternatives and environmental impacts was provided for public comment. The EPA record of decision (ROD/EDD) documents themselves were kept secret during the entire public comment period and during this Court's review of the proposed decree, and for over two years after EPA signed the ROD/EDD. The ROD/EDD was not filed with the court nor provided to local officials prior to or during their decisions. The ROD/EDD might never have been disclosed by EPA were it not for InPIRG's investigation and FOIA requests. 61. The vast majority of citizens, environmentalists and public interest groups in the area opposed the proposed decree and oppose to this day implementation of the current decree cleanup plan. Public opposition is based on the fact that the agreement was negotiated in secret by City and County officials, Westinghouse, EPA and State officials in violation of the Indiana Open Door Law; the cleanup agreement excluded many of the known areas of contamination which appeared to serve only the interests of Westinghouse and the City in minimizing their liability for cleanup costs; the technological remedy proposed was experimental; and the proposed remedy had been selected without the public receiving the benefit of reviewing the environmental studies required by law. 62. The idea of garbage as fuel was opposed by citizens and environmentalists because it would make the already difficult task of incinerating PCBs in soil virtually impossible to perform without creating unacceptable risks from toxic by-products of incineration due to the wide variability in heat value of municipal waste and due to the additional toxic heavy metals and dioxin/furan precursors which garbage would introduce into the incinerator. The use of municipal waste as fuel, an idea which had never before been tried and had been rejected by EPA for a similar Superfund cleanup in Texas, served no purpose other than to allow Westinghouse to recoup its cleanup costs via tipping fees which the City and County had privately agreed to pay Westinghouse. 63. The public was opposed to the proposed decree because the EPA, rather than performing a feasibility study to examine alternatives and environmental impacts prior to selecting a remedy, essentially approved the remedy already negotiated by Westinghouse and the City (both responsible parties under Superfund). The public is even more opposed now than in 1984 because, inter alia, EPA failed to release the ROD until 1987, and then only after persistent and multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and other prompting from InPIRG Chairman Mick Harrison. Further, public comment was not taken on either a study of alternatives and impacts or on the Record of Decision prior to the remedy being selected. The EPA had signed the ROD as a final agency action one day before the first public meeting. The discovery of this fact in 1987 has obviously only strengthened public opposition. Even today, the full record of EPA's decision process has not been released to the public, despite yet another FOIA request, this one by COPA. 64. InPIRG's original Motion for Relief from Judgment was timely filed in this Court on August 22, 1986. InPIRG, in its original motion moved this Court to vacate its August 25, 1985 judgments approving a Consent Decree and denying InPIRG's Motion to Intervene in the above captioned matter. In support of its motion InPIRG relied on the grounds of newly discovered evidence, misrepresentation, fraud, and other just cause including fraud upon the Court. InPIRG's Motion, supporting Memorandum, and Memorandum in Reply are hereby incorporated by reference. 65. InPIRG requested that this Court hold an evidentiary hearing on the merits of its Motion. No evidentiary hearing has been scheduled to date and InPIRG's Motion is still pending in this court. After thorough investigation of both the facts and law, and as a result of the discovery of additional material misrepresentations and non-disclosures by EPA and other parties to the Consent Decree and their attorneys, and out of concern for preventing and remedying violations of state and federal laws and protecting the health and environment of the residents of Bloomington and Monroe County from the imminent threat of serious harm, Movants COPA and InPIRG bring the instant Motion for Relief from Judgment, and request an evidentiary hearing. WHEREFORE, COPA and InPIRG, by counsel Rudolph William Savich and Richard E. Condit, request that: 1. the Orders of this Court of August 22, 1985 be vacated or in the alternative that an evidentiary hearing be held to consider the merits of this Motion, and upon proper showing, that these same Orders be vacated; 2. COPA and InPIRG be granted intervention status; 3. EPA be instructed to commence an RI/FS for each NPL site consistent with the current NCP; 4. COPA and InPIRG receive Technical Assistance Grants within 60 days of this order for work on each of the Westinghouse NPL sites; 5. all attorneys' fees and costs of Movants will be paid by the parties; 6. all other relief deemed appropriate will be provided by this Court. Respectfully submitted, Rudolph William Savich 505 North Walnut Street Bloomington, IN. 47404 (812) 336-7293 Of Counsel: Richard E. Condit Government Accountability Project 25 E Street, NW, Suite 700 Washington, DC 20001 (202) 347-0460 Attorneys for COPA and InPIRG
