Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On May 19, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of Ohio in United States v. Chemical Waste Management, et al., 
Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-132 (S.D. Ohio).
    The United States filed this lawsuit under Section 106, 107, and 
113 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, to recover its past 
response costs, declaratory judgment, and injunctive relief at the 
Tremont Barrel Fill Superfund Site in German Township, Ohio (``Site''). 
The Consent Decree requires Defendants to clean up contamination at the 
Site, at an estimated cost of $27.7 million. The Consent Decree also 
requires Defendants to reimburse the United States' past response costs 
at the Site and compensate the United States for any future oversight 
costs.
