DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to CERCLA

    In accordance with section 122(d)(2) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 
9622(d)(2) as well as Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. NSA, 
Division of Southwire Company (``NSA''), Civil Action No. 93-00159 was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District 
of Kentucky on December 16, 1993. Under this Decree, the settling 
defendant, NSA, will construct and operate an interim remedial action 
at its aluminum production facility located near Hawesville, Kentucky. 
The interim action requires that NSA extract contaminated groundwater 
from the surficial aquifer beneath its site, treat it, and discharge 
the treated water in compliance with its existing Kentucky Pollution 
Discharge Elimination System permit. The interim remedial action is 
designed to prevent the migration of contaminants in the surficial 
aquifer while NSA completes its ongoing Remedial Investigation and 
Feasibility Study (``RI/FS''). At the completion of the RI/FS process, 
EPA will select a final remedial action for the site. The Decree also 
requires that NSA reimburse EPA for costs incurred and to be incurred 
at the site.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of (30) days 
from the date of this publication, comments relating to the proposed 
Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department 
of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United States v. 
NSA, Division of Southwire Company, DOJ #90-11-3-1148.
