DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act

    On July 1, 2020, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Wisconsin in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Waste 
Management of Wisconsin, Inc., Civil Action No. 20-cv-993.
    The United States brought this case under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. The Complaint 
alleges that Waste Management improperly disposed of hazardous waste at 
the Metro Recycling and Disposal Facility in Franklin, Wisconsin. The 
Consent Decree requires Waste Management to pay a civil penalty of 
$232,000, implement a program of groundwater and leachate testing, and 
enforce policies designed to ensure future compliance with RCRA. The 
Consent Decree would resolve the United States' RCRA claims in the 
complaint and other potential RCRA claims based on the same type of 
waste addressed in the complaint.
    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 
should refer to United States v. Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc., 
D.J. Ref. No. 90-7-1-11093. All comments must be submitted no later 
than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice. 
Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail:
