DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On October 2, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a Consent 
Decree with the United States District Court for the District of 
Maryland in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of Maryland v. 
AAI Corporation, et al. The Consent Decree resolves claims under 
Sections 106 and 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 
9607(a), for past response costs, future response costs, injunctive 
relief, and natural resource damages (``NRDs''), incurred in connection 
with the disposal of hazardous substances at the 68th Street Dump 
Superfund Alternative Site outside of Baltimore, Maryland (``the 
Site''). The Complaint, brought jointly with the State of Maryland, 
filed concurrently with the Consent Decree alleges that the various 
defendants own, owned, operated, arranged for the transport of 
hazardous substances to, or transported hazardous substances to the 
Site. The proposed Consent Decree obligates certain defendants to 
perform the remedy which is set forth in the September 2013 Record of 
Decision (attached to the Consent Decree as Exhibit B), valued at 
approximately $51.5 million. The proposed Consent Decree also requires 
certain defendants to perform additional NRD restoration work, 
reimburse the Natural Resource Trustees (United States Department of 
the Interior, acting by and through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 
the U.S. Department of Commerce, acting by and through the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and the State of Maryland) 
$240,000 for past trustee NRD assessment costs, pay the Natural 
Resource Trustees $630,000 to fund an off-site restoration project, and 
pay up to $250,000 to the Natural Resource Trustees for their future 
oversight costs.
