DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decrees Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA), the Clean Water Act 

(CWA), and the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) 

On November 1, 2023, the Department 

of Justice lodged two proposed consent 

decrees with the United States District 

Court for the District of Oregon in the 

lawsuit entitled United States of 

America et al. v. ACF Industries LLC, et 

al., Civil Action No. 3:23–cv–1603 (D. 

Or.). 

The complaint asserts claims 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 Oregon; the Confederated Tribes of 

the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon; 

the Confederated Tribes of Siletz 

Indians; the Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Indian Reservation; the 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; and the 

Nez Perce 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); the Oregon Hazardous 

Waste and Hazardous Materials Act, 

ORS section 465; and ORS section 

468B.060. 

The proposed consent decrees settle 

claims for natural resource damages 

caused by hazardous substances 

released from defendants’ facilities 

along the Willamette River. Under the 

proposed consent decrees, the 

defendants will pay cash and/or 

purchase restoration credits in one or 

more restoration projects approved by 

the Natural Resource Trustees to create 

habitat for injured natural resources, 

including various species of fish and 

birds. Defendants also must make 

payments for the public’s lost 

recreational use of the river, for 

monitoring of culturally significant 

plants and animals, and for 

reimbursement of the Natural Resource 

Trustees’ costs. Restoration project 

developers also are parties to the 

consent decree under which some 

defendants purchase restoration credits 

in those projects. The restoration project 

developers are required to develop their 

restoration projects, permanently 

protect the restoration project sites, and 

arrange for long-term stewardship of 

each restoration project. The Natural 

Resource Trustees will provide 

defendants with covenants not to sue 

under the authorities listed in the 

complaint and proposed consent decree 

for specified natural resource damages. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed Consent Decrees. Comments 

on the proposed Consent Decrees 

should be addressed to the Assistant 

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should 

refer to United States of America et al.
