DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On November 4, 2025, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern
District of New York in the lawsuit entitled U.S. v. Hauler's Facility
LLC, et al., Civil No. 5:25-cv-01551.
In that action, the United States sought, pursuant to the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq., recovery of response costs
regarding the Ley Creek Deferred Media Operable Unit (``Site'') of the
Onondaga Lake Superfund Site in Salina and Dewitt, Onondaga County, New
York. The proposed consent decree will require 16 settling defendants
to make individual payments totaling $2,170,916. From these proceeds,
$200,000 will be paid to three entities that succeeded General Motors
under a 2011 consent decree in the General Motors bankruptcy matter and
the rest, including accrued interest, will be paid to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for its past and future response costs
at the Site.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
