[[Page 1339]]

Sandvik, Inc. Civil Action No. 2:20-cv-135.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The 
United States' complaint names Fisher Scientific Company, L.L.C. and 
Sandvik, Inc. as defendants. The complaint requests recovery of costs 
that the United States incurred and will incur responding to releases 
of hazardous substances at the Fair Law Well Field Superfund Site in 
Fair Lawn, New Jersey. The complaint also seeks injunctive relief. Both 
defendants signed the consent decree. They will perform the remedial 
action that EPA selected for the site and pay any response costs above 
the amount that the United States recovered from Eastman Kodak Company 
in a 2014 bankruptcy settlement. In return, the United States agrees 
not to sue the defendants under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA with 
respect to 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 should refer to United States v. Fisher Scientific 
Company, L.L.C. and Sandvik, Inc. D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-3-12072. All
