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

    On November 22, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of North Carolina in the lawsuit entitled United States v. CTS 
Corporation, Mills Gap Road Associates, and Northrop Grumman Systems 
Corporation, Civil Action No. 1:16-cv-00380.
    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 
tricholorethylene in the groundwater at the CTS of Asheville, Inc. 
Superfund Site in Asheville, North Carolina.
    The proposed consent decree would resolve the claims alleged in the 
complaint. It requires the defendants, CTS Corporation, Mills Gap Road 
Associates, and Northrop Grumman Corporation, to implement the remedy 
selected by EPA, which is estimated to cost $8,885,000.
    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. CTS Corporation, Mills Gap Road 
Associates, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, D.J. Ref. No. 90-
