Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On September 30, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed

Management Northeast, Inc; and Mercer Group International of New 
Jersey, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:24-CV-09545-KMW-MJS.
    The proposed Consent Decree resolves the United States' claims on

lots collectively approximately 52 acres in size and identified as
