DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980

    Notice is hereby given that on August 21, 2008, a Complaint was 
filed and a proposed Consent Decree was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of New Jersey in United States of 
America v. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:08-cv-
04216.
    In this action the United States seeks reimbursement of response 
costs incurred by EPA for response actions at the Chemsol, Inc. 
Superfund Site (``Site'') in Piscataway Township, Middlesex County, New 
Jersey, and performance of studies and response work at the Site 
consistent with the National Contingency Plan, 40 CFR Part 300, 
pursuant to Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental, 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607 
(``CERCLA''). The Consent Decree provides that the new settlors will 
financially contribute to and perform work at the Site together with a 
group of potentially responsible parties that resolved their liability 
to the United States in 2000 in a Consent Decree. The value of this 
settlement is estimated at approximately $3.1 million, of which 
$380.170.83 will be paid to EPA for unreimbursed response costs, and 
$95,747.14 will be paid to the State of New Jersey for the State's 
Natural Resource Damages caused by the release of hazardous substances 
at the Site.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)

Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General,
