DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On April 9, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Wisconsin in the lawsuit entitled United States and the 
State of Wisconsin v. NCR Corp., et al., Case No. 10-cv-910 (E.D. 
Wis.).
    In 2010, the United States and the State of Wisconsin filed a 
lawsuit against multiple defendants that had contributed to 
polychlorinated biphenyl (``PCB'') contamination in sediment at the 
Lower Fox River and Green Bay Superfund Site in northeastern Wisconsin 
(the ``Site''). That lawsuit--brought under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 
42 U.S.C. 9601-75--sought enforcement of a U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency order requiring cleanup work at the Site, 
reimbursement of response costs that the United States and the State 
have incurred in addressing the PCB contamination at the Site, and 
recovery of damages for injuries to natural resources resulting from 
the PCB contamination. The proposed Consent Decree is a partial 
settlement that requires two defendants, NCR Corporation and Georgia-
Pacific Consumer Products LP, to fund and perform an estimated $67 
million in sediment remediation work at the Site in 2015. This partial 
settlement does not resolve all aspects of the ongoing lawsuit or all 
potential liabilities of NCR Corporation or Georgia-Pacific Consumer 
Products LP.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and

et al., D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-1045/3. All comments must be submitted no
