Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental

Act, Concerning Natural Resource
Damages
On April 3, 2013, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas
in the lawsuit entitled United States and
the State of Texas v. Arkema, Inc, Civil
Action No. 13-cv-00935 (S.D. Tex.).
Co-plaintiffs United States and State
of Texas seek redress from Defendant
Akema, Inc. for damages to natural
resources that resulted from discharge of
hazardous substances at and from a
facility that formulated agricultural
chemicals, located in the vicinity of 201
West Dodge Street, Bryan, Brazos
County, Texas.
Under the settlement embodied in the
proposed Decree, Arkema will pay the
federal and state natural resource
trustees a total of $1.4 million, of which
more than $1.1 million will be jointly
administered and used by those trustees
to restore, replace, or acquire the
equivalent of the injured natural
resources. The balance of the payment
will be used to reimburse the trustees
for previously-incurred assessment costs
(almost $0.160 million to the United
States and almost $0.124 million to the
State). Also under the proposed
settlement, the United States covenants
not to sue Arkema for natural resource
damages at the facility under specified
provisions of the Clean Water Act and
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability
Act. The State covenants not to sue
Arkema on similar terms.
