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

    On September 22, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of North Carolina in the lawsuit entitled United States v. 
North Georgia Electric Membership Corporation et al., Civil Action No. 
5:16-cv-00820-FL.
    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, which names 173 parties as defendants, seeks performance 
of a remedial design and remedial action at the Ward Transformer 
Superfund Site in Raleigh, North Carolina, along with the recovery of 
costs that the United States incurred for response activities 
undertaken at the Site. The proposed consent decree requires the 173 
defendants to fund and perform the remedial action that EPA selected 
for Operable Unit 1 of the Site. In return, the United States agrees 
not to sue the defendants under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA relating 
to the Site. The proposed consent decree also requires the United 
States, on behalf of the Army, Air Force, and Navy, and the Tennessee 
Valley Authority to fund a portion of the remedial action, and requires 
settling defendant Carr & Duff, Inc., to pay a $40,000 civil penalty in 
connection with its failure to comply with a 2011 cleanup order issued 
by EPA.
    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 
should refer to United States v. North Georgia Electric Membership 
Corporation et al., D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-07152/2. All comments must be 
submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of 
this notice. Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail:
