DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On November 10, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of New Jersey in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Shieldalloy 
Metallurgical Corporation, Civil Action No. 16-cv-8418.
    The United States has filed a Complaint brought on behalf of the 
United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') against 
Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation (``SMC'') seeking performance of 
Operable Units 1 and 2 (``OU1 and OU2'') of the remedial action and 
past and future response costs at the Shieldalloy Metallurgical 
Corporation Superfund Site (``Site'') in Gloucester and Cumberland 
Counties, New Jersey. The consent decree resolving the claims requires 
SMC to perform the OU1 and OU2 remedies at the Site. EPA estimates the 
value of the work to be performed pursuant to the Consent Decree at 
about $5,635,000. In addition, EPA will receive $505,000 in 
reimbursement of its past costs and a commitment by SMC to pay future 
response costs at the Site relating to the work to be performed.
