 Department of Justice
 On January 20, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed consent decree with the United States District Court for the District of Utah in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States of America*
                     v. 
                    *Magnesium Corporation of America, et al.,*
                     Civil Action No. 2:01CV0040-DBB. If approved by the court, the consent decree would resolve the claims of the United States against US Magnesium LLC (“USM”), the Renco Group, Inc. (“Group”), the Ira Leon Rennert Revocable Trusts (“Trusts”), and Mr. Ira Leon Rennert (“Rennert”), collectively “Defendants,” for injunctive relief and civil penalties for alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) at USM's magnesium production facility in Rowley, Utah. The consent decree would require USM to: (1) Make extensive process modifications at the facility, including construction of a filtration plant to treat all wastewaters, that will reduce the environmental impacts from its production operations and ensure greater protection for its workers; (2) establish appropriate financial assurance for closure or corrective action of certain waste management areas in the operating areas of the facility; (3) pay a civil penalty of $250,000; and (4) perform the CERCLA Response Action, which includes construction of a barrier wall around 1,700 acres of the operating portions of the facility to prevent leaks or breaches of hazardous materials to the Great Salt Lake, and the payment of EPA costs incurred in connection with the CERCLA Response Action. In return for the Settling Defendants' compliance with these requirements, the consent decree would resolve past RCRA violations at the Rowley facility that the United States' complaint alleges. Provided that the Settling Defendants remain in compliance with the consent decree's requirements, including payment of EPA CERCLA Response Action costs, the United States would covenant not to sue the

                    Settling Defendants under CERCLA for the CERCLA Response Action and EPA's CERCLA Response Action costs. On February 3, 2021, the Department of Justice published notice of the lodging of the proposed consent decree. 86 FR 8037.
