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

    On July 29, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of Georgia in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Honeywell 
International Inc. and Georgia Power Company, Civil Action No. 2:16-cv-
00112-LGW-RSB.
    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 actions to address contamination of mercury, 
polychlorinated biphenyls, lead, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 
in the saltwater marsh at the LCP Chemicals Superfund Site in 
Brunswick, Georgia. It also seeks recovery of costs that the United 
States will incur in overseeing implementation of the response actions. 
The marsh is known as ``Operable Unit 1,'' one of three contaminated 
areas at the Site.
    The proposed consent decree would resolve the claims alleged in the 
complaint. It requires the defendants, Honeywell International Inc. and 
Georgia Power Company, to implement the remedy selected by EPA for 
Operable Unit 1, which is estimated to cost $28.6 million. The consent 
decree also requires the defendants to pay future response costs 
incurred by EPA at Operable Unit 1.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and

Georgia Power Company, D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-1237/3. All comments must
