Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’)
Notice is hereby given that on March
8, 2010, a proposed consent decree
(‘‘proposed Decree’’) in United States v.
Norfolk Southern Railway Co., Civil
Action No. 1:08–cv–01707, was lodged
with the United States District Court for
the District of South Carolina, Aiken
Division.
In this action under Sections 301 and
311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C.
1311 and 1321, and Section 301(a) of
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. 9603(a) (‘‘CERCLA’’), the
United States sought penalties and
injunctive relief for releases of chlorine
and diesel fuel following the January 6,
2005 derailment of the defendant’s train
in Graniteville, South Carolina, which
resulted in the death of nine people,
evacuation of the surrounding
community, and environmental injury
including the death of hundreds of fish
in nearby waters. The proposed Decree
requires the defendant to pay $4 million
to the United States as a civil penalty,
provide enhanced emergency response
training to certain employees, restock
impacted waters with fish, and post the
number for the National Response
Center’s incident report hotline in the
office of its General Superintendent of
Transportation. In addition, the
proposed Decree requires the defendant
to conduct a Supplemental
Environmental Project (‘‘SEP’’) designed
to control erosion and improve water
quality in impacted waters. The
proposed Decree provides the defendant
with a covenant not to sue for the
allegations contained in the United
States’ amended complaint.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the proposed Decree.
