DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)

    Notice is hereby given that on March 31, 2010, a proposed Consent 
Decree (``Decree'') in United States v. Honeywell International Inc., 
Civil Action No. 1:10CV203, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
    In this action the United States, on behalf of the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S. EPA''), sought cost recovery 
and injunctive relief against Honeywell International Inc. relating to 
the third operable unit (``OU3'') of the Allied Chemical and Ironton 
Coke Superfund Site (``Site'') in Ironton, Ohio, under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 
1980. Under the Decree, which resolves these claims, Defendant 
Honeywell will pay all interim and future response costs not 
inconsistent with the National Contingency Plan relating to OU3 and 
will perform the remedy for OU3 at the Site. The remedy for OU3, which 
is the final remedy for the Site, pertains to the former Tar Plant area 
of the Site, and calls for covering contaminated soil at OU3 with a cap 
that complies with Ohio solid waste regulations; controls to ensure the 
cap remains intact and thereby protects people from remaining 
contaminated soil and soil vapor; and a combination of dredging, off-
site disposal and/or capping of contaminated sediment in the Ohio River 
adjacent to the Tar Plant's loading dock.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Decree. 
Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, 
Environment and Natural
