Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On May 13, 2020, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Wisconsin in the lawsuit entitled United States and State 
of Wisconsin v. Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, Civil Action No. 
20-cv-00733.
    The United States and the State of Wisconsin filed this lawsuit 
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
Liability Act (``CERCLA''). The complaint names Wisconsin Public 
Service Corporation (``WPSC'') as the defendant. The complaint requests 
recovery of costs that the United States incurred responding to 
releases of hazardous substances at the Wisconsin Public Service 
Corporation Marinette MGP Superfund Alternative Site in Marinette, 
Wisconsin. The complaint also seeks injunctive relief. WPSC will pay 
$11,400.07 in response costs and perform the remedial action that EPA 
has selected for the Site. In return, the United States and Wisconsin 
agree not to sue WPSC under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA.
