DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    On April 26, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Schott Metal 
Products, Inc. and The Estate of Samuel Schott, Civil Action No. 5:13-
cv-00950.
    In the Complaint filed in this action the United States alleged 
that Defendants failed to comply with a 2006 Administrative Order 
issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') 
to sample and monitor soil and groundwater at the Schott Metal 
Products, Inc. facility in Akron, Ohio, in violation of Section 3013(a) 
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S.C. 
6934(a). The proposed consent decree requires Defendants to comply with 
the 2006 Administrative Order by implementing a ``work plan,'' and an 
addendum thereto, recently approved by EPA. The proposed consent decree 
further requires Defendants to pay a civil penalty of $375,000, for the 
alleged failure to timely comply with the 2006 Administrative Order.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
