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, 
and should refer to United States v. Kerr-McGee Corp. et al., Civil
