Notice of Ability To Pay—Cash-out 

Settlement Agreement for the 

Jefferson City Residential Yards Site 

Under Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: As required by the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), 

notice is hereby given that a Section 

122(h)(1) cashout settlement agreement 

for ability to pay peripheral parties is 

proposed by the United States, on behalf 

of the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), and Montana Tunnels Mining, 

Inc. (MTMI), a Montana corporation, for 

the payment of certain response costs 

incurred at the Jefferson City Residential 

Yards Site in Jefferson City, Jefferson 

County, Montana (Site). 

The Site consists of 19 residential 

yards, a portion of a U.S. Postal Service 

property, and sections of Spring Creek, 

in and near Jefferson City, Montana. An 

area known as Corbin Flats Tailings, 

owned by MTMI, lies upstream of the 

Site, and contains approximately 

500,000 cubic yards of tailings. 

Precipitation events, snowmelt runoff, 

and other events have caused the 

tailings, which are contaminated with 

elevated levels of lead and arsenic, to 

move downstream along Spring Creek, 

and these materials were deposited in 

certain residential yards at the Site. 

The EPA’s response actions at the Site 

included excavation of contaminated 

soils, backfilling with clean soils, and 

re-grading and disposal of the 

contaminated soils. The removal action 

was completed in December of 2010. 

MTMI has agreed to pay EPA the 

principal amount of $372,217.14 plus 

interest, as a cashout settlement for a 

portion of the past costs expended at the 

Site. Payment shall be made in 35 

installments of $2,500 per month with 

a final balloon payment of $292,500. 

The first payment shall be due on the 

first day of the month beginning 30 days 

after the effective date of the agreement. 

EPA has notified the State of Montana 

of this action pursuant to Section 106(a) 

of CERCLA.
