Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 3 / Monday, January 6, 2020 / Notices
and lodged a proposed Consent Decree
with the United States District Court for
the Western District of Michigan in the
lawsuit entitled United States of
America and the State of Michigan v.
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). The publication of the
original notice opened a 30-day period
for public comment on the proposed
Consent Decree that was scheduled to
end on January 16, 2020. The
publication of the current notice
extends the period for public comment
on the Consent Decree to February 18,
2020.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and should refer to United
States of America and the State of
Michigan v. NCR Corporation, D.J. Ref.
