Alden Leeds, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 2:22–cv– 07326. The proposed Consent Decree resolves the United States’ claim against 85 defendants under Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), relating to Operable Unit 2 and PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Operable Unit 4 of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’) in New Jersey. In the proposed Consent Decree, the 85 Settling Defendants agree to pay $150 million in cleanup costs. EPA Region 2’s estimated future cleanup costs for Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4 of the Site are $1.82 billion. EPA sponsored an allocation process, which involved hiring a third party neutral to perform an allocation. The process concluded in December 2020 with a Final Allocation Recommendation Report that recommends relative shares of responsibility for each allocation party’s facility or facilities evaluated in the allocation. After review of the Final Allocation Recommendation Report, EPA identified the parties who were eligible to participate in the proposed Consent Decree. Based on the results of the allocation, the United States concluded that the Settling Defendants, individually and collectively, are responsible for a minor share of the response costs incurred and to be incurred at or in connection with the cleanup of Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4, for releases from the facilities identified in the proposed Consent Decree. Certain Settling Defendants had previously resolved their liability for Operable Unit 2, and so were not evaluated in the allocation, but are participating in the proposed Consent Decree in order to resolve their liability for Operable Unit 4. The Consent Decree includes covenants not to sue related to Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4 under sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA, as well as contribution protection under section 113 of CERCLA. The consent decree does not include reopeners for previously unknown conditions or information, or for cost overruns, but the settlement amount collectively paid by the Setting Defendants protects against the risk that future costs will exceed EPA’s estimate of the future cleanup costs for Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4. 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.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On December 16, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of New Jersey in United States v. Alden Leeds, Inc., et al., Civil 
Action No. 2:22-cv-07326. The proposed Consent Decree resolves the 
United States' claim against 85 defendants under Section 107(a) of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980 (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), relating to Operable Unit 2 
and Operable Unit 4 of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site (``Site'') in 
New Jersey.
    In the proposed Consent Decree, the 85 Settling Defendants agree to 
pay $150 million in cleanup costs. EPA Region 2's estimated future 
cleanup costs for Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4 of the Site are 
$1.82 billion. EPA sponsored an allocation process, which involved 
hiring a third party neutral to perform an allocation. The process 
concluded in December 2020 with a Final Allocation Recommendation 
Report that recommends relative shares of responsibility for each 
allocation party's facility or facilities evaluated in the allocation. 
After review of the Final Allocation Recommendation Report, EPA 
identified the parties who were eligible to participate in the proposed 
Consent Decree. Based on the results of the allocation, the United 
States concluded that the Settling Defendants, individually and 
collectively, are responsible for a minor share of the response costs 
incurred and to be incurred at or in connection with the cleanup of 
Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4, for releases from the facilities 
identified in the proposed Consent Decree. Certain Settling Defendants 
had previously resolved their liability for Operable Unit 2, and so 
were not evaluated in the allocation, but are participating in the 
proposed Consent Decree in order to resolve their liability for 
Operable Unit 4. The Consent Decree includes covenants not to sue 
related to Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4 under sections 106 and 
107(a) of CERCLA, as well as contribution protection under section 113 
of CERCLA. The consent decree does not include reopeners for previously 
unknown conditions or information, or for cost overruns, but the 
settlement amount collectively paid by the Setting Defendants protects 
against the risk that future costs will exceed EPA's estimate of the 
future cleanup costs for Operable Unit 2 and Operable Unit 4.
    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. Alden Leeds, Inc., et al., Civil 
Action No. 2:22-cv-07326, D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-3-07683/1. All comments 
must be submitted no later than forty-five (45) days after the 
publication date of this notice. Comments may be submitted either by 
email or by mail:
