DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On November 12, 2015, 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. Alcoa
Inc., et al., Civil No.: 15-cv-973-A.
In this action the United States sought, pursuant to the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq., injunctive relief and recovery
of response costs regarding the Olean Well
[[Page 72740]]
Field Superfund Site in Olean, New York (``Site''). The settlement
requires two parties, Alcoa Inc. and Cutco Corporation, to perform
remedial actions at two areas of the Site known as the ``Alcas
facility'' and ``Parcel B,'' to reimburse the United States for
$612,000 of response costs incurred at the Site, and to reimburse the
United States for its future response costs regarding the Alcas
facility and Parcel B. The settlement resolves the United States'
claims against these defendants regarding the Site.
