DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act
On November 23, 2015, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
partial consent decree with the United
States District Court for the District of
Arizona in El Paso Natural Gas
Company, LLC v. United States of
America, et al., Civil Action No. 3:14–
cv–08165–DGC.
The proposed consent decree would
resolve the claims of the United States
included in this action for the past
response costs incurred by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) in addressing the release or
threatened release of hazardous
substances at and from 19 historical
uranium mines located on the Navajo
Nation Reservation in and around
Cameron, Arizona (‘‘the Mine Sites’’).
The Mine Sites are a subset of a larger
number of abandoned uranium mines
on Navajo lands. The United States
included a claim for recovery of its
response costs at the Mine Sites under
section 107 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA) in a
counterclaim it brought against El Paso
Natural Gas Company, LLC (‘‘EPNG’’) in
this action after EPNG sued the United
States under sections 107 and 113 of
CERCLA to recover EPNG’s response
costs at the Mine Sites. Under the
consent decree, EPNG will pay the
United States $502,500, plus interest, to
be deposited in an EPA special account
for cleanup of the Mine Sites. In return,
the United States agrees not to sue
EPNG under section 107 of CERCLA for
EPA’s past response costs incurred in
connection with the Mine Sites. The
consent decree is a partial settlement in
that it would not resolve, and would be
without prejudice to, the claims EPNG
asserted against the United States in this
action, or the portion of the United
States’ counterclaim asserting that
EPNG is liable to the United States in
contribution under section 113 of
CERCLA. Nor does the consent decree
address response costs incurred and to
be incurred in cleaning up hazardous
substances at or from other abandoned
uranium mines located on the Navajo
Nation that are not involved in this
action.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
consent decree. Comments should be
