DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
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.
