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.
