DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On September 30, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey in the lawsuit entitled United States v. EMR (USA
Holdings) Inc.; Camden Iron & Metal, Inc.; SPC Corporation; Atlas
Traders, LLC; Rhino Recycling, Inc.; Delco Metals, Inc.; Tioga Real
Estate, LLC; United Compressed Steel Company; Sims Group USA Holdings
Corporation; Simsmetal East LLC f/k/a Hugo Neu Schnitzer East; Metal
Management Northeast, Inc; and Mercer Group International of New
Jersey, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:24-CV-09545-KMW-MJS.
The proposed Consent Decree resolves the United States' claims on
behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') under section
107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), regarding the Shamrock
Enterprises Superfund Site (``Site''), located at 281 Clearfield
Avenue, Franklinville, Gloucester County, New Jersey, comprised of 4
lots collectively approximately 52 acres in size and identified as
Block 1802, Lots 30, 31, 32, 33 on the Tax Map of Franklin Township,
New Jersey. EPA in 2018 removed approximately 3000 compressed gas
cylinders containing hazardous substances such as acetylene, ethylene
oxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen, sulfide, and silane accumulated at
the Site. The United States incurred at least $1,516,119 in response
costs at the Site. The settling defendants are generators who sent
cylinders containing hazardous substances to the Site and will
collectively pay $900,000.00 to resolve their liability.
