DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On November 14, 2017, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the Western District of
New York in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. Beazer East, Inc. et al., Civil
Action No. 17–1165.
The United States filed this lawsuit
under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA). The United
States’ complaint names Beazer East,
Inc., CBS Corporation, Chemung
County, the City of Elmira, the Elmira
Water Board, Hardinge Inc., Toshiba
America Inc., the Town of Horseheads,
and the Village of Horseheads, as
defendants. The complaint requests
recovery of costs and injunctive relief
related to responding to releases of
hazardous substances at or from the
Fourth Operable Unit (‘‘OU4’’) of the
Kentucky Avenue Wellfield Superfund
Site located in the Village of Elmira
Heights, the Town of Horseheads, and
the Village of Horseheads, New York.
Under the proposed Consent Decree, the
nine Settling Defendants agree to
perform the remedy selected by the
Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) for OU4 and pay the United
States’ future response costs related to
OU4. The Statement of Work, included
as Appendix B to the Decree, provides
the framework for implementation of
the cleanup plan as set forth in the
Record of Decision (‘‘ROD’’) signed by
the Regional Administrator for Region 2
of EPA in September 2016. The State of
New York concurred with respect to the
selected remedy. The selected remedy
calls for the construction of a nine-acre
cap over the footprint of Koppers Pond,
with the cap comprised of a geotextile
membrane covered by a six-inch layer of
soil and sand. Institutional controls will
also be imposed to control activities and
use at OU4 to preserve the integrity of
the cap. The Remedial Design, Remedial
Action, and Operations and
Maintenance at OU4 are estimated to
cost approximately $1.9 million and the
Settling Defendants will pay any United
States Future Response Costs related to
OU4. The United States has provided all
of the Settling Defendants with a
covenant not to sue under Sections 106
and 107(a) of CERCLA, relating to OU4,
subject to certain reservations.
