DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On February 7, 2013, the Department of Justice filed a complaint 
and lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District 
Court for the Northern District of Florida, Gainesville Division in the 
lawsuit entitled United States of America v. Beazer East, Inc. Civil 
Action No. 1:13cv29-SPM-GRJ.
    Pursuant to Sections 106 and 107(a) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 
U.S.C. 9606, 9607(a), the United States' complaint sought to recover 
costs it has incurred and will incur in response to the release and 
threatened release of hazardous substances at or from the Cabot/Koppers 
Superfund Site, located in the City of Gainesville, Alachua County, 
Florida (the Site). The United States also sought an Order enjoining 
the Defendant to perform the remedial action at the Site selected by 
EPA in the Amended Record of Decision dated February 2011 (Amended ROD) 
and included as Appendix A to the Decree.
    The United States has agreed to resolve the claims alleged in the 
complaint through the proposed Consent Decree in which Beazer will 
perform the Amended ROD at the Site. In the Decree, Beazer has also 
agreed to pay all of EPA's future costs including oversight costs. The 
United States covenants not to sue under CERCLA Sections 106 and 107 
relating to the Site subject to statutory reopeners.
