Summary

(Civil Action No. 2:15-cv-01155-RCM). On September 3, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a Complaint under CERCLA against Dunbar Asphalt Products, Inc., an owner of Operable Unit Two (OU-2) of the Sharon Steel (Farrell Works Disposal Area) Superfund Site in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. On September 4, 2015, DOJ lodged a Consent Decree, which, when entered, would resolve the United States? potential CERCLA claims against Dunbar Asphalt. The Consent Decree will now be made available for public comment for a period of at least 30 days. EPA referred this matter to DOJ on August 28, 2015. OU-2 is an approximately 30-acre portion of the entire 325-acre Site, which was once operated as a disposal area by Sharon Steel Corporation for waste generated by its steel-making operations at its nearby Farrell, PA steel plant. Dunbar currently owns approximately 25 acres of OU-2. EPA issued an interim Record of Decision for OU-2 in December 2013 and an Explanation of Significant Differences on June 23, 2015. Under the settlement, Dunbar will perform the interim remedial action at OU-2. The interim cleanup requires all areas of exposed slag at OU-2 to be covered to prevent releases of heavy metals and PAHs from OU-2. The Human Health Risk Assessment for OU-2 determined that airborne contamination there posed an unacceptable non-cancer risk to workers. Dunbar currently operates an asphalt plant at OU-2. Another owner of real property at OU-2 operates a small trucking company. In e
