DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On November 7, 2017, 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. Dover 
Chemical Corporation, Civil Action No. 5:17-cv-02335.
    The proposed consent decree resolves claims by the United States in 
the associated complaint under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') against Dover 
Chemical Corporation (``Dover Chemical'') for response actions and past 
and future response costs relating to Operable Unit 2 of the Dover 
Chemical Corporation Superfund Site in Dover, Ohio. Under the proposed 
consent decree, Dover Chemical agrees to perform the remedial actions, 
estimated to cost $7.4 million, selected by EPA. Dover also agrees to 
pay past and future response costs incurred by the United States. The 
proposed consent decree includes a covenant not to sue Dover Chemical 
under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA or under section 7003 of the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), conditioned upon the 
satisfactory performance by Dover Chemical of its obligations under the 
proposed consent decree.

the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Acting 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
