DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of an Amendment to
the Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act
Notice is hereby given that on
November 19, 2008, a proposed
Amendment to the Consent Decree
(‘‘Amendment’’) in United States of
America v. Ormet Primary Aluminum
Corporation, Civil Action No. C2–95–
947, was lodged with the United States
District Court for the Southern District
of Ohio, Eastern Division.
In 1995, the United States entered
into a Consent Decree with Ormet
Primary Aluminum Corporation, Inc.
(‘‘Ormet Primary’’), which settled a
matter under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9606 &
9607, for the Ormet Corporation
Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’) in Hannibal,
Ohio. Under the Consent Decree, Ormet
Primary is required to undertake work
to address releases at the Site and
provide financial assurance to ensure
completion of the work. In 2007, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘U.S. EPA’’) determined that Ormet
Primary had failed to meet the terms of
the financial assurance provisions of the
Consent Decree. The Amendment
addresses Ormet Primary’s failure to
have adequate financial assurance by
requiring scheduled submissions to the
U.S. EPA of letter(s) of credit which by
December 21, 2009, in the aggregate,
will equal $3,400,000.00. The
Amendment also requires, among other
things, environmental covenants be
recorded with the Register of Deeds,
Monroe County, Ohio, identifying use
restrictions for the Site and other
specified property.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the Amendment. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
