Proposed respondents, other 

interested parties, and members of the 

public are invited to file comments on 

any public interest issues raised by the

competitive articles that complainant, 

its licensees, or third parties make in the

subject articles if they were to be 

excluded; 

(iv) indicate whether complainant, 

complainant’s licensees, and/or third 

party suppliers have the capacity to 

replace the volume of articles 

potentially subject to the requested 

exclusion order and/or a cease and 

desist order within a commercially 

reasonable time; and 

(v) explain how the requested 

remedial orders would impact United 

States consumers.

Act, its implementing regulations, and 

related state law provisions, at five 

Heritage-Crystal Clean (HCC) facilities 

located in Shreveport, Indianapolis, 

Atlanta, and Denver as well as at a 

former facility in Fairless Hills, 

Pennsylvania. The complaint alleged 

that in the course of providing solventbased parts washing services to 

numerous customers throughout the 

United States, HCC violated various 

hazardous waste management 

requirements by (1) transporting 

hazardous waste without required 

hazardous waste manifests, (2) storing 

hazardous waste at HCC facilities that 

do not have hazardous waste permits, 

(3) failing to make adequate hazardous 

waste determinations after mixing used 

solvents that HCC accepted from 

numerous different customers, (4) 

failing to comply with certain 

requirements for reducing air emissions 

from hazardous waste tanks and 

equipment, and (5) failing to maintain 

adequate secondary containment for 

certain hazardous waste tanks. The 

complaint also alleged that HCC 

violated certain requirements applicable 

to storage of used oil at HCC’s 

Shreveport facility, and certain 

requirements governing management of 

solid wastes at HCC’s Indianapolis 

facility (the ‘‘10th Street Facility’’). 

The proposed settlement prohibits 

HCC from treating, storing, or disposing 

of hazardous waste at any HCC facility 

that does not have a hazardous waste 

management permit. The proposed 

settlement also includes extensive 

measures to assure that HCC facilities 

do not manage used parts washing 

solvent that is subject to regulation as 

hazardous waste. These measures 

include: (1) screening new customers; 

(2) screening used parts washing 

solvents before HCC accepts such 

solvents for transport and management; 

(3) providing educational materials to 

certain parts washing customers; (4) 

testing of used parts washing solvent 

accepted by HCC to determine whether 

any used solvents accepted and 

managed by HCC are hazardous waste; 

(5) prompt removal from HCC facilities 

of any used parts washing solvents 

shown to be hazardous waste; (6) a 

prohibition on processing of certain 

used solvents, including by gravity 

separation, for the purpose of making 

the used solvent suitable for resale and 

re-use. The proposed settlement also 

provides for HCC to apply for a permit 

to store and treat hazardous waste at its 

10th Street Facility. Pending issuance of 

a hazardous waste permit for the 10th 

Street Facility and construction of any 

waste management units authorized by 

such a permit, the proposed Consent 

Decree requires HCC to implement 

various interim measures at the 10th 

Street Facility, including various 

inspection requirements, and 

requirements to close open vents on 

certain tanks used to store used solvent 

at the 10th Street Facility. In addition, 

the proposed Consent Decree includes 

provisions for a third-party audit of 

HCC’s implementation of Consent 

Decree requirements. Finally, the 

proposed Consent Decree provides for 

HCC to pay civil penalties totaling 

$1,162,500, with specified portions of 

the penalty amount allocated to the 

United States, the Louisiana Department 

of Environmental Quality, and the State 

of Indiana.

proposed Consent Decree. Comments

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act 

On December 6, 2023, the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed consent 

decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of New Jersey in 

United States v. Wyeth Holdings LLC, 

2:23–cv–22922 (D.N.J.). 

The United States filed a complaint 

under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act against 

Wyeth Holdings LLC, for recovery of 

damages for injury to, loss of, or 

destruction of natural resources 

resulting from the release of hazardous 

substances at or from the American 

Cyanamid Superfund Site (the ‘‘Site’’) in 

Bridgewater Township, Somerset 

County, New Jersey. Specifically, the 

United States alleges releases of 

hazardous substances caused injury to 

floodplains, riparian areas, and 

wetlands adjacent to the Site and the 

biota supported by these habitats, 

including macroinvertebrates, 

amphibians, reptiles, birds, and 

mammals. These natural resources are 

under the trusteeship of the United 

States Department of the Interior (DOI), 

through the United States Fish and 

Wildlife Service (FWS), the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), and New 

Jersey Department of Environmental 

Protection (NJDEP). 

The proposed Consent Decree is 

among the United States, NJDEP, and 

Wyeth Holdings LLC. Under the 

proposed Consent Decree, Wyeth 

Holdings LLC, will undertake and fund 

the ‘‘Duke Farms Forested Floodplain 

Restoration Project,’’ which will restore 

112 areas of former farmland located 

upstream of the Site on the Raritan 

River to a natural habitat. Wyeth will 

also pay the DOI, NOAA, and NJDEP’s 

assessment and oversight costs. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

Consent Decree. Comments should be 

addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, United States 

Department of Justice, and should refer 

to United States and New Jersey

Protection v. Wyeth Holdings LLC, D.J. 

Ref. No. 90–11–3–07250/4. All 

comments must be submitted no later 

than sixty (60) days after the publication 

date of this notice. Comments may be 

submitted either by email or by mail:
