Conservation and Recovery Act and
The Emergency Planning and
Community Right-To-Know Act
On July 9, 2020, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Wyoming in the
lawsuit entitled United States of
America v. J.R. Simplot Company, et al.,
Civil Action No. 20–CV–125–F. If
approved by the court, the consent
decree would resolve the claims of the
United States against J.R. Simplot
Company and Simplot Phosphates, LLC
(Simplot) for injunctive relief and civil
penalties for alleged violations of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), and for civil penalties for
alleged violations of the Emergency
Planning And Community Right-ToKnow Act (EPCRA), at Simplot’s
phosphoric acid and fertilizer
manufacturing plant located near Rock
Springs, Wyoming. The consent decree
would require Simplot to (1) implement
compliance projects at the Rock Springs
facility; (2) comply with specified
requirements for management of wastes
or other materials at the facility and in
the facility’s phosphogypsum stack
system, (3) comply with specified
requirements for the eventual closure
and long-term care of the facility, and
provide financial assurance to cover the
estimated cost of such obligations; and
(4) continue monitoring the
groundwater at and near the facility

implement corrective action to address
any groundwater contamination. The
consent decree would also require
Simplot to revise the annual Toxic
Chemical Release Inventory Reporting
Forms it submitted under EPCRA for
years 2004–2013 to include estimates of
compounds that previously were not
included in those reports. In addition,
the consent decree would require
Simplot to pay a civil penalty of
$775,000. In return for Simplot’s
compliance with these requirements,
the consent decree would resolve past
RCRA and EPCRA violations at the Rock
Springs facility that the United States’
complaint alleges. Provided that
Simplot remains in compliance with
consent decree’s requirements for the
management of wastes or other
materials, under the consent decree the
United States would also covenant not
to sue Simplot under RCRA for its
management of wastes or other
materials at the Rock Springs facility.

consent decree. Comments should be
