DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act
In accordance with Departmental
Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that a proposed Consent Decree in
United States of America v. The Boeing
Company et al., Civil Action No. 10–
457–LRS (E.D. Wa.), was lodged with
the United States District Court for the
Western District of Washington on
December 23, 2010. The proposed
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
385
Consent Decree settles claims for, inter
alia, response costs to address
hazardous substances released at the
Moses Lake Wellfield Superfund Site
(Site).
The complaint asserts claims against
the defendants—The Boeing Company,
Lockheed Martin Corporation, and the
City of Moses Lake—for response costs
incurred at the Site by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) pursuant to the
section 107(a) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a). The
complaint also seeks a declaratory
judgment of liability against the
defendants for future response costs
incurred by EPA and the Corps at the
Site. The State of Washington also filed
a complaint on December 23, 2010,
asserting claims for response costs
against the defendants as well as against
the United States.
Under the proposed Consent Decree,
the defendants will make payments to
the United States totaling $3.25 million
to resolve their CERCLA liability at the
Site. The United States, on behalf of a
group of settling Federal agencies
including the United States Air Force,
will make payments to EPA for the
future response costs that are not
covered by the defendants’ payments.
The United States will also pay, on
behalf of the settling Federal agencies,
future response costs incurred by the
State of Washington. Based on cleanup
cost estimates, the United States’
payments on behalf of the settling
Federal agencies, which will be largely
to EPA, are expected to be
approximately $55 million. The
payments by the United States resolve
claims against it by the State of
Washington as well as claims by the
defendants. In addition, the United
States, on behalf of the settling Federal
agencies, will pay the City of Moses
Lake approximately $2.96 million to
resolve claims for response costs and
attorney fees asserted by the City of
Moses Lake in its related pending
lawsuit, No. 04–0376.
The Department of Justice will receive
written comments relating to the
proposed Consent Decree for a period of
thirty (30) days from the date of
publication of this notice. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and either
e-mailed to pubcommentees.enrd@usdoj.gov or mailed to P.O.
Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice,
Washington, DC 20044–7611, and
should refer to United States of America
