Superfund Site located in Richmond, Virginia. The Consent Decree 
obligates the estates of John F. Neves and Mattie R. Neves to sell the 
real property at 2216 Hull Street, Richmond, Virginia, and pay the 
first $50,000 of the proceeds from the sale to the United States in 
reimbursement of the past response costs incurred by EPA; the heirs 
will keep the next $10,000 and any balance above that will be divided 
evenly between the United States and the heirs.
