BILLING CODE 4410–PB–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Pursuant to the Solid Waste Disposal 

Act, as Amended by the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act of 

1976 and the Hazardous and Solid 

Waste Amendments of 1984 

The United States Department of 

Justice gives notice that on December 

18, 2006, a proposed consent decree was 

lodged in United States v. WCI Steel, 

Inc., Civil Action No. 4:06–CV–03000, 

in the United States District Court for 

the Northern District of Ohio. 

The consent decree resolves claims of 

the United States against WCI Steel, Inc. 

(‘‘Reorganized WCI’’), the current owner 

and operator of the WCI Steel facility in 

Warren, Ohio (‘‘Facility’’), under 

Section 7003 of the Solid Waste 

Disposal Act, as amended by the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act of 1976 and the Hazardous and 

Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 

(‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6973. The United 

States’ complaint alleges that 

Reorganized WCI has willfully violated, 

or failed or refused to comply with, a 

RCRA Section 7003 administrative order 

(‘‘Order’’) issued by the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘U.S. 

EPA’’) to WCI Steel, Inc. (‘‘Debtor 

WCI’’), the prior owner and operator of 

the Facility before its reorganization in 

bankruptcy. The complaint seeks an 

order from the court requiring that 

Reorganized WCI comply with the 

Order and to pay penalties for violations 

of the Order since it acquired the 

Facility through Debtor WCI’s 

bankruptcy case on May 1, 2006. 

The proposed consent decree would 

require Reorganized WCI to implement 

specified measures to reduce risks to 

birds and wildlife due to the 

management of oily wastes at 

impoundments at the Facility. In 

addition, under the consent decree, 

Reorganized WCI would be required to 

pay a civil penalty to the United States 

in the amount of $620,000.00. This 

penalty would be paid through 

resolution of claims of the United States 

(set forth in a proof of claim and 

administrative proof of claim) for 

penalties relating to Debtor WCI’s 

alleged violations of the Order 

submitted in Debtor WCI’s bankruptcy 

case in the United States Bankruptcy 

Court for the Northern District of Ohio 

(In re: WCI Steel, Inc., et al., Case No. 

05–81439). The Consent Decree would 

also resolve all claims for civil liability 

of Debtor WCI to the United States for 

the violations of the Order alleged in the 

United States’ claims in the bankruptcy 

case. 

The Department of Justice will 

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days 

from the date of this publication, 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree. Comments should be 

addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural
