good cause shown, THE COURT HEREBY FINDS, CONCLUDES, ADJUDGES, AND DECREES AS

                                       1A



                                  I. BACKGROUND

     WHEREAS, the United States of America ("United States"), on behalf of the
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"),
filed a complaint in this matter under Sections 107 and 113 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C.
Sections 9607 and 9613, as amended ("CERCLA"), seeking reimbursement from the
Settling Defendant of Response Costs incurred and to be incurred by EPA for
response actions taken in connection with the release or threatened release of
Waste Materials at and from the Eureka Mills Superfund Site ("Site") located in
Juab County, Utah. The complaint, among other things, alleges that Settling
Defendant's liability under Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42. U.S.C.Section 9607(a),
arises from Settling Defendant's ownership of portions of the Site and Settling
Defendant's conduct of mining operations on portions of the Site;

     WHEREAS, in accordance with the National Contingency Plan, 40 C.F.R. Part
300 ("NCP"), and Section 121(f)(1)(F) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section
9621(f)(1)(F), EPA notified the State of Utah ("State") on July 7, 2003, of
negotiations with potentially responsible parties regarding the implementation
of the response actions for the Site and has provided the State with an
opportunity to participate in such negotiations and be a party to this Consent
Decree;

     WHEREAS, Chief Consolidated Mining Company ("Settling Defendant") has
entered into this Consent Decree without admitting any liability to Plaintiff
arising out of the transactions or occurrences alleged by Plaintiff in its
complaint;


                                       1



     WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 122(j)(1) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section
9622(j)(1), EPA notified the U.S. Department of Interior natural resource
trustee on February 13, 2003, of negotiations with potentially responsible
parties regarding the release of Waste Material that may have resulted in injury
to the natural resources under Federal trusteeship and encouraged the trustee to
participate in the negotiation of this Consent Decree;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 105 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section 9605, EPA
placed the Site on the National Priorities List, set forth at 40 C.F.R. Part
300, attachment B, by publication in the Federal Register on September 5, 2002,
67 Fed. Reg. 56757 (Sept. 5, 2002);

     WHEREAS, in response to a release or a substantial threat of a release of
Waste Material(s) at or from the Site, EPA commenced in January 2001, a Remedial
Investigation and Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") for the Site pursuant to 40 C.F.R.
Section 300.430;

     WHEREAS, EPA completed a Remedial Investigation ("RI") Report and draft
final Feasibility Study ("FS") Report on July 23, 2002;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 117 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section 9617, EPA
published notice of the completion of the FS and of the proposed plan for
response actions on July 19, 2002, in a major local newspaper of general
circulation. EPA provided an opportunity for written and oral comments from the
public on the proposed response action plan and held a public meeting to discuss
the plan. A copy of the transcript of the public meeting is available to the
public as part of the administrative record upon which EPA based the selection
of the response action. The administrative record for the Site is located at the
EPA Region 8 Superfund Records Center, 999 18th Street, Suite 300, Denver,
Colorado 80202 and at Eureka City Hall, 15


                                        2



North Church Street, Eureka, Utah;

     WHEREAS, the final Feasability Study was completed on September 1, 2002;

     WHEREAS, the decision by EPA on the response actions to be implemented at
the Site is embodied in two Records of Decision ("RODs") on which the State has
given its concurrence. The RODs include responsiveness summaries to the public
comments. Notice of the selected response actions was published in accordance
with Section 117(b) of CERCLA on October 18, 2002, in The Eureka Reporter;

     WHEREAS, the United States has reviewed the Financial Information submitted
by Settling Defendant to determine whether Settling Defendant is financially

upon its review of this Financial Information, identified in Attachment A, the
United States has determined that Settling Defendant is presently unable to pay
response costs, but is able to provide the contributions as required under
Section VIII (In Kind Contributions Provided by Settling Defendant) and may also
be able to make future payments reimbursing EPA for Response Costs depending on
Settling Defendant's continued viability;

     WHEREAS, in 2001 and 2002, to facilitate the EPA Time Critical Removal
Action, Settling Defendant voluntarily made available to EPA borrow material,
the use of its water rights, and the use of the Chief No. 1 Mine as a repository
for contaminated soils from residential properties and, beginning in August
2003, use of space adjacent to the Chief No. 1 Mine as a storage and staging
area for the Remedial Actions; and


                                       3



     WHEREAS, the United States and Settling Defendant agree, and this Court by
entering this Consent Decree finds, that this Consent Decree has been negotiated
by the Parties in good faith, that settlement of this matter will avoid

Decree is fair, reasonable, and in the public interest.

     g. Implementing and overseeing of the Response Actions;

     h. Inspecting and copying records, operating logs, contracts, or other
     documents maintained or generated by Settling Defendant or its agents,
     consistent with Section XIV (Access to Information);

     j. Determining Settling Defendant's compliance with Institutional Controls;
     and

     k. Determining whether the Property is being used in a manner that is
     prohibited or restricted, or that may need to be prohibited or restricted,
     by or pursuant to this Consent Decree.

     36. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Consent Decree, the United
States retains all of its access authorities and rights, including enforcement
authorities related thereto, under CERCLA, RCRA, and any other applicable
statutes or regulations.

     NOTICE TO SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST

     37. With respect to any Property located within the Site upon which the
Repository, Open Cells, Response Action Structures, the Borrow Source, or Water
Source are located, Settling Defendant hereby authorizes EPA to record with the
Office of the Juab County Recorder notice in the chain of title for such
property which shall inform all successors-in-interest that: (i)


                                       30



such Property is part of the Eureka Mills Superfund Site; (ii) EPA has selected
as a remedy for the Site the Response Actions authorized by the Action
Memorandum dated May 29, 2001, the Record of Decision for Early Interim Action
dated September 2002, and the Record of Decision for Lead Contaminated Soils in
Operable Units 00, 01, 02 and 03 ("OUs") of the Eureka Mills Superfund Site
dated September 2002; (iii) Response Action Structures, the Repository, Open
Cells, the Water Source, or the Borrow Source are to be placed on the Property
subject to the notice; and (iv) that any Successor-In-Interest shall be bound to
comply with the terms, conditions and obligations of this Consent Decree as they
pertain to the subject Property. Such notice(s) shall identify the United States
District Court in which this Consent Decree was filed, the name and civil action
number of this case, and the date this Consent Decree was entered by the Court.

     a. At least thirty (30) days prior to any Transfer of any interest in such
     Property, the Settling Defendant shall give the successor-in-interest: (i)
     a copy of this Consent Decree; (ii) a copy of any applicable Institutional
     Controls; (iii) a copy of any notice(s) filed in the Property's chain of
     title pursuant to this Consent Decree; and (iv) a copy of any easement
     filed in the Property's chain of title pursuant to this Consent Decree.

     38. Notwithstanding any Transfer of Property upon which the Repository,
Open Cells, Response Action Structures, Water Source, or the Borrow Source are
located, the Settling Defendant's obligations under this Consent Decree shall
continue to be met by the Settling Defendant, absent the prior written consent
of EPA. EPA's consent shall, in part, be conditioned on a demonstration by the
Settling Defendant that the successor-in-interest has agreed to be


                                       31



bound by this Consent Decree, has assumed the Settling Defendant's obligations
enumerated in this Consent Decree, and has the requisite ability, including
financial resources, to perform the Settling Defendant's obligations enumerated
in this Consent Decree.

     INSTITUTIONAL CONTROLS

     39. Commencing on the Effective Date of this Consent Decree, Settling
Defendant shall not use the Property or any other portion of the Site in any
manner that would interfere with or adversely affect the implementation,
integrity, or protectiveness of the remedial measures implemented pursuant to
the Response Actions. Settling Defendant further agrees to comply with all
Institutional Controls at the Site.

     EASEMENTS

     40. EPA may prepare easements, in substantially the form depicted in
Attachment E, that are enforceable under the laws of the State of Utah, which
incorporate covenants and restrictions necessary to provide for the
construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, operation, or closure of any
Response Action Structure, Repository, Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow
Source. The easements shall run with the land, and specifically require all
successors-in-interest to abide by the terms, conditions and obligations of this
Consent Decree as they pertain to Property on which Response Action Structures,
the Repository, the Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow Source are located.

     41. Within thirty (30) days of Settling Defendant's receipt of any easement
prepared by EPA pursuant to Paragraph 40, Settling Defendant shall record the
easement with the Office


                                       32



of the Juab County Recorder, Utah and provide EPA with a certified copy of the
original recorded easement(s) showing the clerk's recording stamps.

     42. If Settling Defendant is unable to successfully record a legally valid
easement as required to implement Paragraph 41 within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the easement provided for in Paragraph 40, Settling Defendant shall
promptly notify the United States in writing, and shall include in that
notification a summary of the steps that Settling Defendant has taken to attempt
to comply with Paragraph 41 of this Consent Decree. EPA may, as it deems
appropriate, assist Settling Defendant in recording an easement and may, in its
sole discretion, require Settling Defendant to reimburse EPA for all costs
incurred, direct or indirect, by EPA in recording such easements.

     43. Any modification to or withdrawal of the easements imposed upon the
Response Action Structures, Repository, Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow
Source Property shall be effective only after an amended easement, approved by
EPA, is filed with the Office of the Juab County Recorder.

     CHANGE IN USE

     44. Except for Settling Defendant's current uses of and activities on those
portions of the Property upon which Response Action Structure(s), the
Repository,Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow Source Property are placed, the
Settling Defendant shall not implement new use(s) or conduct new activities on
those properties, unless EPA determines in advance and in writing that a
specific use or activity would not adversely affect the integrity of the
Response Action Structure(s), Repository, Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow
Source Property. The


                                       33



Settling Defendant shall provide written notice to EPA sixty (60) days prior to
implementing a new use or conducting substantially different activities on those
portions of the Property upon which Response Action Structure(s), Repository,
Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow Source Property are placed and shall
describe whether the new use or activity potentially impacts on the Response
Action Structure(s), Repository, Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow Source
Property. Settling Defendant shall not commence a new use or activity until EPA
provides a written response advising that such proposed use or activity will not
interfere with the integrity of the Response Action Structure(s), Repository,
Open Cells, Water Source, or Borrow Source Property. EPA will respond to
Settling Defendant's notice within sixty (60) days of receipt of said written
notice of intent to implement a new use or activity.

     45. Notwithstanding any provision of this Consent Decree, the United States
retains all of its access authorities and rights under CERCLA, RCRA and any
other applicable statute or regulations.

                       X. COVENANT NOT TO SUE BY PLAINTIFF

     46. Except as specifically provided in Section XI (Reservation of Rights by
United States), the United States covenants not to sue or to take administrative
action against Settling Defendant pursuant to Sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA,
42 U.S.C. Sections. 9606 and 9607(a), from or for all Response Actions taken and
all Response Costs incurred or to be incurred by the United States. This
covenant not to sue is conditioned upon the satisfactory performance by Settling
Defendant of all its obligations under this Consent Decree including but not
limited to, providing in-kind contributions under Section VIII (In Kind
Contributions Provided by Settling


                                       34



Defendant) and payment of any amounts due under Section VI (Compliance With
Consent Decree) and Section VII (Payment of Response Costs). The foregoing
covenant not to sue extends to Settling Defendant and Settling Defendant's
predecessors-in-interest, affiliates, and subsidiaries but only to the extent
that the liability of those entities arises from the same nucleus of facts that
gave rise to Settling Defendant's liability under Section 107(a) of CERCLA, 42
U.S.C. Section.9607(a), as an owner and operator of portions of the Site.

                   XI. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS BY UNITED STATES

     47. The United States reserves, and this Consent Decree is without
prejudice to, all rights against Settling Defendant with respect to all matters
not expressly included within the Covenant Not to Sue by Plaintiff in Paragraph
46.

     48. Settling Defendant certifies that the Financial Information identified
in Attachment A is a full and accurate disclosure of all liabilities, contingent
or otherwise, of Settling Defendant. Plaintiff's covenant not to sue is also
conditioned upon the veracity and completeness of the Financial Information
provided to EPA by Settling Defendant. If the Financial Information is
subsequently determined by EPA to be false or, in any material respect,
inaccurate, Settling Defendant shall forfeit all consideration given pursuant to
this Consent Decree and this covenant not to sue and the contribution protection
in Section XIII (Effect of Settlement/Contribution Protection) shall be null and
void. Such forfeiture shall not constitute liquidated damages and shall not in
any way foreclose the United States' right to pursue any other causes of action
arising from Settling Defendant's false or materially inaccurate information.


                                       35



This covenant not to sue extends only to Settling Defendant and does not extend
to any other person.

     49. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Consent Decree, the United
States reserves all rights against Settling Defendant with respect to:

     a. Failure of Settling Defendant to meet the requirements of this Consent
     Decree;

     b. Liability for damages for injury to, destruction of, or loss of natural
     resources, including reasonable costs of assessing such injury,
     destruction, or loss resulting from the release or threatened release of
     Waste Material(s) at the Site;

     c. Claims for response costs that have been or may be incurred by any
     natural resources trustees, including but not limited to the United States
     Fish and Wildlife Service and the United States Department of Interior;

     d. Criminal liability;

     e. Liability arising from the past, present, or future disposal, release,
     or threat of release of Waste Materials outside the Site;

     f. Liability as a result of Settling Defendant's failure to exercise due
     care with respect to Waste Materials on the Property;

     g. Liability resulting from future exacerbation by the Settling Defendant
     of the release or threats of Waste Materials at or from the Property;

     h. Liability resulting from the creation of new releases or threats of
     release of Waste Materials at or from the Property after the Effective Date
     of this Consent Decree;


                                       36



     i. Liability based upon the Settling Defendant's transportation, treatment,
     storage, or disposal of Waste Material at or in connection with the Site
     after signature of this Consent Decree; and

     j. Liability for any violation of federal or state law which occurs after
     the Effective Date of this Consent Decree.

                 XII. COVENANT NOT TO SUE BY SETTLING DEFENDANT

     50. Subject to the reservations in Paragraph 52, Settling Defendant hereby
covenants not to sue and agrees not to assert any claims or causes of action
against the United States with respect to the Site or this Consent Decree,
including, but not limited to:

     a. Any direct or indirect claim for reimbursement from the Hazardous
     Substance Superfund (established pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, 26
     U.S.C. Section 9507) through CERCLA Sections 106(b)(2), 107, 111, 112, and
     113, 42 U.S.C. Sections. 9606(b)(2), 9607, 9611, 9612, and 9613, or any
     other provision of law;

     b. Any claims against the United States, including any department, agency
     or instrumentality of the United States under CERCLA Sections 106(b)(2),
     107, or 113, 42 U.S.C. Sections. 9606(b)(2), 9607 or 9613 related to the
     Site;

     c. Any claims arising out of Response Actions at or in connection with the
     Site, including any claim under the United States Constitution, the State
     of Utah Constitution, the Tucker Act, 28 U.S.C. Section. 1491, the Equal
     Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. 2412, as amended, or at common law; or


                                       37



     d. Any claims, including but not limited to any claims based on an alleged
     diminution or inverse condemnation, arising from the United States'
     exercise of its rights under this Consent Decree, including but not limited
     to, access rights, use of Borrow Material or Water Source, imposition of
     Institutional Controls, or construction of Response Action Structures, the
     Repository, or Open Cells.

     51. These covenants not to sue shall not apply in the event that the United
States brings a cause of action or issues an order pursuant to the reservations
set forth in Section XI (Reservation of Rights By United States) but only to the
extent that Settling Defendant's claims arise from the same response action,
response costs, or damages that the United States is seeking pursuant to the
applicable reservation.

     52. The Settling Defendant reserves, and this Consent Decree is without
prejudice to, claims against the United States, subject to the provisions of
Chapter 171 of Title 28 of the United States Code, for money damages for injury
or loss of property or personal injury or death caused by the negligent or
wrongful act or omission of any employee of the United States while acting
within the scope of his office or employment under circumstances where the
United States, if a private person, would be liable to the claimant in
accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred.
However, any such claim shall not include a claim for any damages caused, in
whole or in part, by the act or omission of any person, including any
contractor, who is not a federal employee as that term is defined in 28 U.S.C.
Section. 2671; nor shall any such claim include a claim based on EPA's selection
of Response Actions, or the oversight or approval of the Settling Defendant's
plans or activities. The foregoing applies only to claims


                                       38



which are brought pursuant to any statute other than CERCLA and for which the
waiver of sovereign immunity is found in a statute other than CERCLA.

     53. Nothing in this Consent Decree shall be deemed to constitute approval
or preauthorization of a claim within the meaning of Section 111 of CERCLA, 42
U.S.C. Section. 9611, or 40 C.F.R. Section. 300.700(d).

               XIII. EFFECT OF SETTLEMENT/CONTRIBUTION PROTECTION

     54. Nothing in this Consent Decree shall be construed to create any rights
in, or grant any cause of action to, any person not a party to this Consent
Decree. Each of the Parties expressly reserves any and all rights including, but
not limited to, any right to contribution, defenses, claims, demands, and causes
of action which each party may have with respect to any matter, transaction, or
occurrence relating in any way to the Site against any person not a party
hereto.

     55. The Parties agree, and by entering this Consent Decree this Court
finds, that Settling Defendant is entitled, as of the Effective Date of this
Consent Decree, to protection from contribution actions or claims as provided by
Section 113(f)(2) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section. 9613(f)(2), for "matters
addressed" in this Consent Decree. The "matters addressed" in this Consent
Decree are all Response Costs and all Response Actions taken or to be taken at
or in connection with the Site, by the United States. The "matters addressed" in
this Consent Decree do not include those matters for which the United States has
reserved its rights under Section XI (Reservation of Rights by United States) of
this Consent Decree.


                                       39



     56. Settling Defendant agrees that, with respect to any suit or claim for
contribution brought by it for matters related to this Consent Decree, it will
notify EPA and DOJ in writing no later than sixty (60) days prior to the
initiation of such suit or claim. Settling Defendant also agrees that, with
respect to any suit or claim for contribution brought against it for matters
related to this Consent Decree, it will notify EPA and DOJ in writing within ten
(10) days of service of the complaint or claim upon it. In addition, Settling
Defendant shall notify EPA and DOJ within ten (10) days of service or receipt of
any Motion for Summary Judgment, and within ten (10) days of receipt of any
order from a court setting a case for trial, for matters related to this Consent
Decree.

     57. In any subsequent administrative or judicial proceeding initiated by
the United States for injunctive relief, recovery of response costs, or other
relief relating to the Site, Settling Defendant shall not assert, and may not
maintain, any defense or claim based upon the principles of waiver, res
judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim-splitting, or other
defenses based upon any contention that the claims raised by the United States
in the subsequent proceeding were or should have been brought in the instant
case; provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph affects the
enforceability of the Covenant Not to Sue by Plaintiff set forth in Section X.

                           XIV. ACCESS TO INFORMATION

     58. Settling Defendant shall provide to EPA and the State, upon request,
copies of all documents, reports, or information (hereinafter referred to as
"documents") within its possession or control or that of its contractors or
agents relating to activities at the Site, or to the


                                       40



implementation of this Consent Decree including, but not limited to, sampling,
analysis, chain of custody documents, manifests, trucking logs, receipts,
reports, correspondence, or other documents or information related to the Site.

     CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION AND PRIVILEGED DOCUMENTS

     59. Settling Defendant may assert business confidentiality claims covering
part or all of the documents or information submitted to EPA under this Consent
Decree to the extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 104(e)(7) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section. 9604(e)(7), and 40 C.F.R. Section. 2.203(b).
Documents or information determined to be confidential by EPA shall be afforded
the protection specified in 40 C.F.R. Part 2, Subpart B. If no claim of
confidentiality accompanies documents or information when they are submitted to
EPA, or if EPA has notified Settling Defendant that the documents or information
are not confidential under the standards of Section 104(e)(7) of CERCLA or 40
C.F.R. Part 2, Subpart B, the public may be given access to such documents or
information without further notice to Settling Defendant.

     60. Settling Defendant may assert that certain documents or other
information are privileged under the attorney-client privilege or any other
privilege recognized by federal law. If the Settling Defendant asserts such a
privilege in lieu of providing documents, it shall provide EPA with the
following: (i.) the title of the document or information; (ii.) the date of the
document or information; (iii.) the name and title of the author of the
document, or information; (iv.) the name and title of each addressee and
recipient; (v.) a description of the contents of the document or information;
and (vi.) the privilege asserted by Settling Defendant. However, no


                                       41



documents or other information created or generated by Settling Defendant to
comply with the requirements of this Consent Decree shall be withheld on the
grounds that they are privileged.

     61. No claim of confidentiality shall be made with respect to any data,
including, but not limited to, all sampling, analytical, monitoring,
hydro-geologic, scientific, chemical, or engineering data, or any other
documents evidencing conditions at or around the Site.

                           XV. RETENTION OF DOCUMENTS

     62. Until ten (10) years after the Effective Date of this Consent Decree,
Settling Defendant shall preserve and retain all documents now in its possession
or control, or which come into its possession or control, that relate in any
manner to response actions taken at the Site or the liability of any person
under CERCLA with respect to the Site, regardless of any corporate retention
policy to the contrary.

     63. After the conclusion of the document retention period in the preceding
Paragraph, Settling Defendant shall notify EPA, the State and DOJ at least
ninety (90) days prior to the destruction of any such documents, and, upon
request by EPA or DOJ, Settling Defendant shall deliver any such documents to
EPA. Settling Defendant may assert that certain documents are privileged under
the attorney-client privilege or any other privilege recognized by federal law.
If Settling Defendant asserts such a privilege, Settling Defendant shall provide
EPA with the following: (i.) the title of the document; (ii.) the date of the
document; (iii.) the name and title of the author of the document; (iv.) the
name and title of each addressee and recipient; (v.) a description of the
subject of the document; and (vi.) the privilege asserted. However, no


                                       42



documents created or generated to comply with the requirements of this Consent
Decree shall be withheld on the grounds that they are privileged.

     64. Settling Defendant hereby certifies that, to the best of its knowledge
and belief, after thorough inquiry, it has:

     a. Not altered, mutilated, discarded, destroyed or otherwise disposed of
     any documents, reports, or other information relating to its potential
     liability regarding the Site since notification of potential liability by
     the United States or the filing of suit against it regarding the Site, and
     that it has fully complied with any and all EPA requests for information
     regarding the Site and Settling Defendant's financial circumstances
     pursuant to Section 104(e) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Section. 9604(e); and

     b. Submitted to EPA Financial Information that fairly, accurately, and
     materially sets forth its financial circumstances, and that those
     circumstances have not materially changed between the time the Financial
     Information was submitted to EPA and the time Settling Defendant executes
     this Consent Decree.

                             XVI. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     65. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Consent Decree, the
dispute resolution procedures of this Section shall be the exclusive mechanism
to resolve disputes arising under or with respect to this Consent Decree.
However, the procedures set forth in this Section shall not apply to actions by
the United States to enforce obligations of the Settling Defendant that have not
been disputed in accordance with this Section.


                                       43



     INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     66. Any dispute which arises under or with respect to this Consent Decree
shall in the first instance be the subject of informal negotiations between the
Parties. The period for informal negotiations shall not exceed twenty (20) days
from the time the dispute arises, unless the period of time is modified by
written agreement of the Parties. The dispute shall be considered to have arisen
when one Party sends the other Party a written Notice of Dispute.

     FORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     67. In the event that the Parties cannot resolve a dispute by informal
negotiations under the preceding Paragraph, then the position advanced by EPA
shall be considered binding unless, within seven (7) days after the conclusion
of the informal negotiation period, Settling Defendant invokes the formal
dispute resolution procedures of this Section by serving by first class, return
receipt mail on the Assistant Regional Administrator of the Office of
Enforcement, Compliance and Environmental Justice, EPA Region 8 ("Assistant
Regional Administrator"), a written Statement of Position on the matter in
dispute, including, but not limited to, any factual data, analysis or opinion
supporting that position and any supporting documentation relied upon by the
Settling Defendant.

     68. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Settling Defendant's
Statement of Position, EPA will serve by first class, return receipt mail on
Settling Defendant its Statement of Position, including, but not limited to, any
factual data, analysis, or opinion supporting that position and all supporting
documentation relied upon by EPA. Within fifteen (15) days after


                                       44



receipt of EPA's Statement of Position, Settling Defendant may serve by first
class, return receipt mail on the Assistant Regional Administrator, a written
Reply.

     69. Formal dispute resolution shall be governed by this Paragraph.
Following receipt of Settling Defendant's written Reply submitted pursuant to
Paragraph 68, the Assistant Regional Administrator will issue a final decision
resolving the dispute. The Assistant Regional Administrator's decision shall be
binding on the Settling Defendant unless, within ten (10) days of receipt of the
decision, the Settling Defendant files with the Court and serve on the United
States pursuant to Rule 4, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a motion for
judicial review of the decision setting forth the matter in dispute, the efforts
made by the Parties to resolve it, the relief requested, and the schedule, if
any, within which the dispute must be resolved to ensure orderly implementation
of the Consent Decree. The United States may file a response to Settling
Defendant's motion. Judicial review of any dispute governed by this Paragraph
shall be governed by applicable principles of law.

     70. The invocation of formal dispute resolution procedures under this
Section shall not extend, postpone or affect in any way any obligation of the
Settling Defendant under this Consent Decree, not directly in dispute, unless
EPA agrees or the Court directs otherwise. Stipulated penalties with respect to
the disputed matter shall continue to accrue but payment shall be stayed pending
resolution of the dispute. Notwithstanding the stay of payment, stipulated
penalties shall accrue from the first day of noncompliance with any applicable
provision of this Consent Decree. In the event that the Settling Defendant does
not prevail on the disputed issue,


                                       45



stipulated penalties may be assessed and paid as provided in Section VI
(Compliance With Consent Decree) of this Consent Decree.

                               XVII. MODIFICATION

     71. Schedules, statements of work, and Transfers specified in this Consent
Decree may be modified by agreement of EPA and the Settling Defendant. All such
modifications shall be made in writing and approved by EPA.

     72. Except as provided in Paragraph 71, no other modifications shall be
made to this Consent Decree without written notification to and written approval
of the United States, Settling Defendant, and the Court.

     73. Nothing in this Decree shall be deemed to alter the Court's power to
enforce, supervise or approve modifications to this Consent Decree.

                         XVIII. NOTICES AND SUBMISSIONS

     74. Whenever, under the terms of this Consent Decree, notice is required to
be given or a document is required to be sent by one Party to another, it shall
be directed to the individuals at the addresses specified below, unless those
individuals or their successors give notice of a change to the other Parties in
