 Department of Justice
 
 
 On July 24, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia in the lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States and West Virginia*
                     v. 
                    *CSX Transportation, Inc.,*
                     Civil Action No. 2:18-cv-01175. The Complaint alleges that Defendant CSX Transportation, Inc., violated the Clean Water Act, the West Virginia Water Pollution Control Act, and the West Virginia Groundwater Protection Act by discharging oil into Armstrong Creek and the Kanawha River after Defendant's train derailed in February 2015 near Mount Carbon, West Virginia. The Consent Decree resolves the alleged violations through a settlement package with two components. First, the Consent Decree requires Defendant to pay a total civil penalty of $2.2 million: $1.2 million to resolve the United States' claims, and $1 million to resolve West Virginia's claims. Second, Defendant must participate in a State supplemental environmental project (“State SEP”) to settle West Virginia's claims only. The State SEP requires Defendant to pay $500,000 into a State-created and State-owned escrow account that the State will use to fund upgrades to the Kanawha Falls Public Service District water treatment facility in Fayette County, West Virginia. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Acting Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to
