NCR Corporation, Civil Action No. 1:19cv–01041. The United States, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’), and the State of Michigan (the ‘‘State’’), on behalf of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (‘‘EGLE’’), filed suit against NCR Corporation (‘‘NCR’’) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (‘‘CERCLA’’) for the recovery of response costs and the performance of response work at the Allied Paper, Inc./ Portage Creek/Kalamazoo River Superfund Site in Michigan (the ‘‘Site’’). Under the terms of the Consent Decree, NCR will perform an estimated $135.7 million in cleanup work on the Kalamazoo River and the adjacent banks and floodplains. NCR also will pay $76.5 million to EPA and $6 million to the State for past and future Site response costs. Further, NCR will pay $27 million dollars to the Kalamazoo River Natural Resources Trustee Council for natural resources damages and assessment costs. The Kalamazoo River Natural Resources Trustee Council includes both state and federal trustees. The federal trustees include the United States Department of Interior (acting through the Fish and Wildlife Service) and the Department of Commerce (acting through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The state trustees include EGLE, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the Michigan Department of the Attorney General. The Consent Decree therefore provides a total estimated value of more than $245 million for cleanup work and payments. Notice of the lodging of the proposed Consent Decree was originally published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2019. See 84 FR 242 (Dec. 17, 2019).
