Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On December 21, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Indiana in the lawsuit entitled United States and the State 
of Indiana v. Anderson Products Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 15-613.
    The United States and the State filed the lawsuit under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA). The Complaint names seven parties as Defendants: Anderson 
Products Inc., doing business in Indiana as Anco Products, Inc.; B-D 
Industries; Elkhart Plating Corp.; FFP Holdings, LLC, formerly known as 
Flexible Foam Products, Inc.; Gaska Tape Inc.; Holland Metal Fab, Inc.; 
and Walerko Tool and Engineering Corp. The Complaint seeks recovery of 
certain costs that the United States and the State incurred and/or will 
incur in responding to releases of hazardous substances at the Lusher 
Street Groundwater Contamination Superfund Site located in the City of 
Elkhart, Elkhart County, Indiana. This includes the State's past costs 
of $26,436.38. The Consent Decree requires Defendants to reimburse 
those State costs and perform injunctive relief related to groundwater 
contamination and associated soil vapor for Operable Unit 1 at the 
Site. In return, the United States and the State agree not to pursue 
the Defendants under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA for the matters 
addressed in the Consent Decree.
