any one location. Also included in the
approved CIP is the relocation of
approximately two miles of the Stehekin
Valley Road, removal of park facilities
out of the floodplain, improvements in

Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, and the Clean Water Act
On July 18, 2013, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the Southern District of
Illinois in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. Chemetco, Inc., Civil Action
Nos. 00–670 and 00–677. The United
States and the State of Illinois (the
‘‘State’’) are plaintiffs in that
consolidated environmental
enforcement action concerning the
Chemetco Superfund Site in Hartford,
Illinois (the ‘‘Chemetco Site’’ or the
‘‘Site’’). The United States and the State
also are co-signatories to the proposed
Consent Decree with the Chapter 7
Bankruptcy Estate of Chemetco, Inc. (the
‘‘Estate’’), as represented by the Chapter
7 Trustee for the Estate, and Paradigm
Minerals and Environmental Services
LLC (‘‘Paradigm’’).
The proposed Consent Decree would
regulate the sale and reprocessing of
slag and other metal-bearing materials at
the Chemetco Site under an Asset
Purchase and Processing Agreement
between the Estate and Paradigm (the
‘‘Processing Agreement’’). Work under
that Processing Agreement—which was
approved by a set of Bankruptcy Court

Orders—would decrease the volume of
material that needs to be contained or
remediated as a waste, thereby reducing
the potential cost of any final remedy
for the Chemetco Site under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act. The Processing Agreement also
requires that a fixed portion of the
revenue from the reprocessing operation
be deposited in a specially-established
environmental escrow account and used
for remediation of the Site. The Consent
Decree would require that the work at
the Site by Paradigm and the Estate
conform to a detailed set of EPAapproved work plans appended to the
Decree. The Decree also requires
Paradigm to post financial assurance as
backing for its commitment to assure the
clean closure of the reprocessing area
after its work is completed. All EPA
costs of overseeing the sale and
reprocessing activities would be
reimbursed under the settlement.
In addition, the proposed Consent
Decree would resolve claims against the
Estate under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’) and the
Clean Water Act in exchange for:
(i) $471,000 to be transferred from a
RCRA Financial Assurance Trust Fund
established by Chemetco to a Superfund
Special Account that can be used to
fund cleanup work at the Site; (ii) a
$500,000 allowed claim for civil
penalties against the Estate; and
(iii) conditions limiting the sale of a
parking lot area that was created by
filling a portion of a wetland with slag.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States v. Chemetco, Inc.,
D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–1–1–4516. All
comments must be submitted no later
than thirty (30) days after the
publication date of this notice.
