    On February 5, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of Indiana in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of 
Indiana v. 1500 South Tibbs LLC, Civil Action No. 1:24-cv-235.
    The proposed Consent Decree settles claims brought by the United 
States and the State of Indiana under sections 106 and 107 of the

(``Defendant'') seeking reimbursement of response costs and performance 
of remedial measures with respect to Reilly Tar and Chemical Superfund

perform the remedial ``Work'' defined in the Scope of Work, attached to 
the Consent Decree as Attachment A. The Work consists of designing and 
implementing a revised Operable Unit 1 (OU1) remedy for the treatment 
of groundwater underneath the Site and to continue operating and
