DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Amendment Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On November 1, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree Amendment with the United States District Court for the
District of Oregon in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Kerr-McGee
Corp. et al., Civil Action No. 04-00032.
This Consent Decree Amendment resolves disputes with the remaining
Defendants, formally dismisses Tronox Incorporated from the Decree, and
largely terminates the ongoing Work obligations of the two remaining
Defendants to the original 2005 Consent Decree: Fremont Lumber Company
and Western Nuclear, Inc. This action involves the White King/Lucky
Lass Superfund Site (``Site'') in Lakeview County, Oregon. Under the
terms of the 2005 Decree, Defendants agreed to implement the remedial
action at the Site, pay some past costs, perform a Supplemental
Environmental Project, and undertake some further limited actions. The
remedial action has been completed and all other obligations under the
Decree, except Oversight and Maintenance (O&M) and Five Year Reviews,
have been achieved.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the Consent Decree Amendment. Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
