DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On March 7, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of South Carolina in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Vigindustries Inc., Civil Action No. 7:16-cv-00721-MGL.
    The United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (``EPA), filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The 
complaint seeks performance of response actions to address the 
International Mineral and Chemical Corporation Fertilizer Superfund 
Site in Spartanburg, South Carolina, recovery of costs that the United 
States incurred responding to releases of hazardous substances at the 
site, and recovery of costs that the United States will incur 
overseeing implementation of the remedy at the site. The proposed 
consent decree requires Vigindustries, Inc. to perform the remedial 
action that EPA selected for the site, pay $116,635.85 in unreimbursed 
response costs, and pay response costs to be incurred by EPA at the 
site.
    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
