DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On October 26, 2012, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Central 
District of California in the lawsuit entitled United States et al. v. 
Seachrome Corp. et al., Civil Action No. 2:02-cv-4565 ABC (RCx).
    In Seachrome, the United States of America (``United States''), on 
behalf of the Administrator of the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), and the California Department of Toxic 
Substances Control (``Department''), filed a complaint pursuant to 
Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, 
seeking reimbursement of response costs incurred or to be incurred for 
response actions taken in connection with the release or threatened 
release of hazardous substances at the South El Monte Operable Unit of 
the San Gabriel Valley Area 1 Superfund Site in South El Monte, Los 
Angeles County, California (the ``South El Monte O.U.''). Under the 
proposed Consent Decree, TDY Industries, LLC; Allegheny Technologies 
Incorporated; and TDY Holdings, LLC. (collectively ``TDY'') will pay a 
total of about $1.8 million. In exchange for the payment, the 
plaintiffs covenant not to sue TDY under Section 106 or 107 of CERCLA 
with respect to past response costs, the interim remedy for volatile 
organic compounds, or for perchlorate.
