Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act
On January 20, 2021, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Utah in the
lawsuit entitled United States of
America v. Magnesium Corporation of
America, et al., Civil Action No.
2:01CV0040B.
If approved by the court, the consent
decree would resolve the claims of the
United States against US Magnesium
LLC (‘‘USM’’), the Renco Group, Inc.
(‘‘Group’’), the Ira Leon Rennert
Revocable Trusts (‘‘Trusts’’), and Mr. Ira
Leon Rennert (‘‘Rennert’’), collectively
Defendants, for injunctive relief and
civil penalties for alleged violations of
the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’) at USM’s
magnesium production facility in
Rowley, Utah. The consent decree
would require USM to: (1) Make
extensive process modifications at the
facility, including construction of a
filtration plant to treat all wastewaters,
that will reduce the environmental
impacts from its production operations
and ensure greater protection for its
workers; (2) establish appropriate
financial assurance for closure or
corrective action of certain waste
management areas in the operating areas
of the facility; (3) pay a civil penalty of
$250,000; and (4) perform the CERCLA
Response Action, which includes
construction of a barrier wall around
1700 acres of the operating portions of
the facility to prevent leaks or breaches
of hazardous materials to the Great Salt
Lake, and the payment of EPA costs
incurred in connection with the
CERCLA Response Action. The United
States and the Settling Defendants also
would implement the 2019 bankruptcy
settlement that resolved claims between
the United States and USM’s
predecessors.
In return for the Settling Defendants’
compliance with these requirements,
the consent decree would resolve past
RCRA violations at the Rowley facility

that the United States’ complaint
alleges. Provided that the Settling

data users can understand the impact of
specific events on the US economy as
they occur, improving the relevancy of
the data.
The QBS is designed to incorporate
new questionnaires as the need arises
based on topics of relevance. BLS
