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

On April 16, 2013, 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. D.S.C. of Newark Enterprises, Inc., Civil Action No. 3:09-CV-02270.

This consent decree resolves the CERCLA Section 107 complaint filed against D.S.C. of Newark Enterprises, Inc. (``D.S.C.''), at the Friction Division Products Superfund Site in Lawrence Township, Mercer County, New Jersey. The United States incurred response costs relating to hazardous substances, including asbestos, which were released at the Site during defendant D.S.C.'s ownership of the Site. The consent decree provides for D.C.S. to pay the United States $1,562,500 for Past Response Costs incurred at the Site, plus interest that accrues on this amount since January 15, 2013. The payment by D.S.C. will recover approximately 92% of EPA's Past Response Costs at the Site.
