DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On April 18, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of North Carolina in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Honeywell International, Inc., and International Paper Co., Civil 
Action No. 7:19-cv-00073-D.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The 
United States' complaint names Honeywell International, Inc., and 
International Paper Co. as defendants. The complaint requests recovery 
of costs that the United States incurred responding to releases of 
hazardous substances at the LCP-Holtrachem Site in Riegelwood, Columbus 
County, North Carolina. The complaint also seeks injunctive relief. The 
two defendants agree under the decree to perform the remedial action 
that EPA selected for the site. The defendants will also reimburse the 
United States for all past and future response costs. In return, the 
United States agrees not to sue the defendants under sections 106 and 
107 of CERCLA or under section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act.
