## Summary

Request that DOJ file a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case of Vertellus Specialties Inc. Vertellus filed for Chapter 11 reorganization on May 31, 2016, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. No bar date has been set. The USEPA, Region 10, believes that the debtors' former ownership and operation of a creosote manufacturing facility within the Quendall Terminal Superfund Site in Renton, Washington provides the basis for EPA to assert an unsecured claim for response costs that the EPA has and will incur in connection to its cleanup of the site.
