DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Proposed Settlement Agreement Under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On September 30, 2015, a fully-executed proposed Settlement 
Agreement was received by the Department of Justice, among the United 
States on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service (``FWS''), the State of Ohio, on behalf of the Ohio 
Environmental Protection Agency (``OEPA''), and the State of Ohio, on 
behalf of the Ohio Department of Transportation (``ODOT'').
    The Settlement Agreement resolves certain claims by the FWS and 
OEPA for natural resource damages with respect to a portion of the 
Ottawa River, primarily located in Lucas County, Ohio, against ODOT. 
The Settlement Agreement requires ODOT to pay $221,865 to the 
Department of the Interior's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and 
Restoration Fund to be used by the FWS and OEPA, the natural resource 
trustees (``Trustees'') for this matter, for the joint benefit and use 
of the Trustees to pay for Trustee-sponsored natural resource 
restoration efforts.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Settlement Agreement. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
