DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA)
On December 7, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Nebraska in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v. City of
Hastings, et al., Civil Action No. 8:03-cv-00531 (D. Neb.),
[[Page 76218]]
and filed a notice of lodging of the same decree in United States of
America v. Dravo Corp., et al., Civil Action No. 8:01-cv-00500 (D.
Neb.).
The proposed consent decree resolves claims against Dravo, LLC,
formerly known as Dravo Corp., pursuant to the section 107(a) CERCLA
for response costs incurred and to be incurred by EPA for Operable
Units 01 and 19 of the Hastings Groundwater Contamination Superfund
Site. The settlement requires Defendant to make a payment of $1,439,336
to EPA, based on analysis of Defendant's financial inability to pay.
