DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')

On September 4, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v. Dunbar Asphalt Products, Inc., Civil Action No. 15-1158.

The proposed settlement resolves the United States' claims against Dunbar Asphalt Products, Inc. (``Dunbar'') for past and future response costs and injunctive relief pursuant to CERCLA Sections 106(a), 107(a)(1), and 113(g), at Operable Unit Two (``OU-2'') of the Sharon Steel Corporation (Farrell Works Disposal Area) Superfund Site in the City of Hermitage, Mercer County, Pennsylvania (``the Site''). The proposed Consent Decree requires that Dunbar perform the interim OU-2 remedial action at the 30 acre OU-2, which includes Dunbar's owned 25-

acre property and approximately five acres owned by another party. The estimated cost of the selected interim remedy for OU-2 is approximately $1.7 million. In exchange for Dunbar's agreement to perform the interim remedy on the portion of OU-2 it does not own, the United States will compromise its claim for past response costs related to OU-2. Dunbar will also pay 90% of the government's future response costs for OU-2.
