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.

the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
