On March 3, 2022, the Department of

Court for the Northern District of 

Indiana in the lawsuit entitled United

The United States and the State of 

Indiana (the ‘‘State’’) filed a complaint 

in this lawsuit under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA). The United States and 

the State’s complaint names Northern 

Indiana Public Service Company, LLC 

(‘‘NIPSCO’’), as the defendant. The 

complaint requests recovery of costs 

that the United States and the State 

incurred responding to releases of 

hazardous substances at the Town of 

Pines Superfund Site (‘‘the ‘‘Site’’) in 

Porter County, Indiana. The complaint 

also seeks injunctive relief. The United 

States, the State, and NIPSCO signed the 

consent decree to resolve the claims in 

the complaint. NIPSCO agrees to pay 

$619,632.16 of the United States’ 

response costs already incurred, to pay 

for the United States’ and the State’s

remedial action that EPA selected for 

the Operable Unit 2 portion of the Site 

at an estimated cost of $11.8 million. In
