DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On July 22, 2014, 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 of America v. 
OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc. and Philips Electronics North America Corporation 
3:14-cv-1621.
    The Complaint in this matter, filed simultaneously with the Consent 
Decree, alleges that OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc. (``OSRAM'') and Philips 
Electronics North America Corporation (``Philips'') are liable under 
Section 107(a)(3) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') because they generated 
hazardous substances and arranged for the disposal of those substances 
at the Ottawa Lead Superfund Site (``Site'') in the Village of Ottawa, 
Putnam County, Ohio. The Consent Decree would require OSRAM and Philips 
to pay $450,000 and $120,000, respectively, in past costs for the 
removal action that took place at the Site from October 4, 2010 to
