 Department of Justice
 On January 14, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western District Washington in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States of America, State of Washington, Suquamish Tribe, and Muckleshoot Indian Tribe*
                     v. 
                    *Vigor Industrial, LLC and Exxon Mobil Corp.,*
                     Civil Action No. 21-44 (W.D. Wash.). The complaint asserts claims against Vigor Industrial, LLC and Exxon Mobil Corp. (Defendants) for natural resource damages by the United States on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of the Interior; the State of Washington; the Suquamish Tribe; and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (collectively, the Natural Resource Trustees) pursuant to the section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9607(a); section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. 1321; section 1002(b) of the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), 33 U.S.C. 2702(b); and the Washington Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), RCW 70.105D. The proposed Consent Decree resolves claims alleged against the Defendants for natural resource damages caused by releases and discharges of hazardous substances and oil from the Vigor Shipyards facility, currently owned and operated by Vigor Industrial, LLC, and formerly owned and operated by Exxon Mobil Corp., to the Lower Duwamish River in and near Seattle, Washington. The settlement requires Defendants to construct, monitor, and maintain in perpetuity two habitat restoration projects at the Vigor Shipyards facility, creating more than three acres of off-channel habitat for injured natural resources. The settlement also requires Defendants to pay their equitable share of assessment costs incurred by the Natural Resource Trustees, totaling $815,816.59. The Defendants will receive covenants not to sue under the statutes listed in the complaint and proposed Consent Decree for specified natural resource damages. The Natural Resource Trustees have developed a Draft Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (“RP/EA”) for the Vigor Shipyards habitat restoration projects, the two restoration projects incorporated into the Consent Decree. The Draft RP/EA proposes to select the Vigor Shipyards habitat restoration projects as two of the projects to address injuries to natural resources in the Lower Duwamish River. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the proposed Consent Decree and the Draft RP/EA. Comments on the proposed Consent Decree should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to 
                    *United States of America, State of Washington, Suquamish Tribe, and Muckleshoot Indian Tribe*
