• holding that a district court had subject matter jurisdiction to address the state law issues because the consent decree specifically conferred jurisdiction
• recognizing the “injunctive quality” of a decree in relation to the court’s obligation to modify a decree in response to “changed circumstances” (citation omitted)
• listing separately the Court’s “duty to enforce, interpret, modify, and terminate their consent decrees”
• a court is required to “protect the integrity of the decree with its contempt powers”
• consistently referring to Waste Management’s claim as one for modification of the terms rather than interpretation of their meaning
