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

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'
