BILLING CODE 4410–18–P
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Three Proposed
Consent Decrees Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On March 26, 2014, the Department of
Justice lodged three proposed Consent
Decrees with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of
Wisconsin in the lawsuit entitled
United States and the State of
Wisconsin v. NCR Corp., et al., Civil
Action No. 10–cv–910 (E.D. Wis.).
In 2010, the United States and the
State of Wisconsin filed a lawsuit
against multiple defendants that had
contributed to polychlorinated biphenyl
(‘‘PCB’’) contamination in sediment at
the Lower Fox River and Green Bay
Superfund Site in northeastern
Wisconsin (the ‘‘Fox River Site’’ or the
‘‘Site’’). That lawsuit—brought under
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9601–75—
sought enforcement of a U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency order
requiring cleanup work at the Site,
reimbursement of response costs that
the United States and the State have
incurred in addressing the PCB
contamination at the Site, and recovery
of damages for injuries to natural
resources resulting from the PCBs at the
Site. The three proposed Consent
Decrees contain the terms of proposed
CERCLA settlements with nine parties
for the Fox River Site.
The first proposed Consent Decree is
with the City of Appleton, CBC Coating
Inc., Menasha Corporation, the NeenahMenasha Sewerage Commission, U.S.
Paper Mills Corporation, and WTM I
Company. Those six Settling Defendants
would pay a total of $54 million toward
the response costs and natural resource
damages associated with the Site. The
State would pay an additional $100,000
to resolve its own potential CERCLA
liability, as alleged in certain
counterclaims asserted by some of the
defendants in the lawsuit.
The second proposed Consent Decree
is with Settling Defendant KimberlyClark Corporation. Kimberly-Clark
would pay the United States and the
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18315
State a total of $1,350,000 under this de
minimis settlement pursuant to CERCLA
Section 122(g), 42 U.S.C. 9622(g).
The third proposed Consent Decree is
with Settling Defendant NewPage
Wisconsin System Inc. (‘‘NewPage’’).
NewPage filed a petition for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in
2011. The proposed Consent Decree
with NewPage would grant the United
States and the State allowed general
unsecured claims for a total of
$1,157,254 that would be paid as
allowed claims under NewPage’s courtapproved Reorganization Plan. Because
such claims are paid on a discounted
basis under the Reorganization Plan, the
actual distributions that the United
States and the State will receive on
those allowed claims may be as little as
$50,000.
Taken together, the three Consent
Decrees would yield a total of
approximately $55.5 million, which
would be allocated as follows: (1)
Slightly more than $45.9 million would
be applied toward natural resource
damages; (2) slightly more than $8
million would be paid into a segregated
fund managed by the State to defray
future costs that the State will continue
to incur in overseeing ongoing cleanup
work by non-settlers; and (3) slightly
less than $1.6 million would be paid
into a Site-specific Superfund Special
Account as partial reimbursement of
past and future costs incurred by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on each of
the three Consent Decrees. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States and the State of
Wisconsin v. NCR Corp., et al., D.J. Ref.
No. 90–11–2–1045/3. All comments
must be submitted no later than thirty
(30) days after the publication date of
this notice. Comments may be
