Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    On January 30, 2019, 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. The Sherwin-
Williams Company, Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-01907.
    The complaint in this case, brought under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601, 
et seq., seeks the recovery of costs incurred by the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA'') in response to the release of hazardous 
substances at the Sherwin-Williams/Hilliards Creek Site, Route 561 Dump 
Site, and United States Avenue Burn Site (the ``Sites''), located in 
Gibbsboro and Voorhees, New Jersey, and the performance of the soils 
and sediments operable unit remedy selected by EPA for the United 
States Avenue Burn Site. Under the proposed consent decree, The 
Sherwin-Williams Company will reimburse the United States $1,460,758.94 
for EPA past costs relating to the Sites and will perform the United 
States Avenue Burn Site soils and sediments operable unit remedy. The
