DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United
States v. Ormet Primary Aluminum Corporation, Civil Action No. C2-95-
947, was lodged on September 28, 1995 with the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The consent decree settles an
action brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq. (``CERCLA''),
for costs incurred by the United States in responding to a release or
threat of release of hazardous substances at the Ormet Superfund Site
in Monroe County, Ohio (the ``Site'') and for implementation of
response action at the Site. The United States alleges that Ormet
Primary Aluminum Corporation (``Ormet'') owns and operates the Site at
which hazardous substances were released and is liable for costs
incurred by the United States in responding to such releases pursuant
to Section 107(a)(1) of CERCLA. The Consent Decree requires Ormet to
reimburse the United States $128,070.73 for response costs incurred in
connection with the Site and to implement a response action for the
Site selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a Record
of Decision dated September 12, 1994.
