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

D.J. Ref. No. 90-7-1-11093. All comments must be submitted no later
