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

    On August 30, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of Oklahoma in United States v. Land O'Lakes, Inc., et al., 
Civil Case No. 5:16-cv-00170 (W.D. Okla.).
    The United States filed this lawsuit under Section 107 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

States $5.7 million to reimburse those past response costs. The Consent 
Decree also resolves alleged violations by Defendant Land O'Lakes, Inc. 
of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CERCLA Unilateral 
Administrative Order at the Site.
