DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On June 22, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Middle
District of North Carolina in the lawsuit entitled United States v.
North Carolina Department of Transportation, Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-
00541.
The United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The complaint seeks
performance of response action for Operable Unit 1 of the Aberdeen
Contaminated Groundwater Superfund Site (``Site''), in Moore County,
North Carolina. The contaminated area associated with Town of Aberdeen
supply wells #5 and #9 is known as ``Operable Unit 1,'' one of two
operable units at the Site.
The proposed consent decree would resolve the claim alleged in the
complaint. It requires defendant NCDOT to implement the remedy selected
by EPA for Operable Unit 1.
