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

    On November 7, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Dover 
Chemical Corporation, Civil Action No. 5:17-cv-02335.
    The proposed consent decree resolves claims by the United States in 
the associated complaint under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') against Dover 
Chemical Corporation (``Dover Chemical'') for response actions and past 
and future response costs relating to Operable Unit 2 of the Dover 
Chemical Corporation Superfund Site in Dover, Ohio. Under the proposed 
consent decree, Dover Chemical agrees to perform the remedial actions, 
estimated to cost $7.4 million, selected by EPA. Dover also agrees to 
pay past and future response costs incurred by the United States. The 
proposed consent decree includes a covenant not to sue Dover Chemical 
under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA or under section 7003 of the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), conditioned upon the 
satisfactory performance by Dover Chemical of its obligations under the 
proposed consent decree.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Acting 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
