Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Clean Water Act/Oil

Pollution Act and the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act

In accordance with Departmental

policy, 28 C.F.R. § 50.7, notice is hereby

given that a proposed consent decree in

United States v. Burlington Northern

Railroad Company, Civil Action No.

94C 0386C, was lodged on April 3, 1995

with the United States District Court for

the Western District of Wisconsin. The

proposed consent decree resolves the

United States’ claims for a civil penalty

pursuant to the Clean Water Act, as

amended by the Oil Pollution Act, 33

U.S.C. § 1321(b)(3), and for

reimbursement of the United States’

response costs pursuant to the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a), and the Oil

Pollution Act, 33 U.S.C. 2702(b)(2). In

addition, the proposed consent decree

resolves Burlington Northern Railroad

Company’s liability pursuant to 42

U.S.C. 9607(a) and 33 U.S.C. 2702(b)(2)

for injury to natural resources.

The action and settlement arise from

Burlington Northern’s illegal discharges

of oil and hazardous substances into

waters of the United States as a result

of three separate derailments: (1) On

June 30, 1992 into the Nemadji River

near Superior, Wisconsin; (2) on January

9, 1993 into the North Platte River near

Guernsey, Wyoming; and (3) on May 6,

1993 into a tributary of the Bighorn

River near Worland, Wyoming.

Under the proposed settlement,

Burlington Northern agrees to pay a

civil penalty in the amount of $1.1

million, to reimburse response costs

spent by the United States in association

with the Nemadji spill in the amount of

$260,000, and to pay $140,000 into a

fund to be jointly managed by the U.S.

Department of Interior, the Bad River

Band of Lake Superior Chippewas and

the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior

Chippewas to address natural resources

damaged as a result of the Nemadji spill.

In addition, the settlement requires

Burlington Northern to acquire

improved rail inspection cars at an

estimated cost of $1.2 million, and to

contribute $100,000 to a fund to be used

to study internal rail defects of the type

that were involved in two of the three

derailments in the case.

The Department of Justice will

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days

from the date of this publication,

consent decree. Comments should be

General for the Environment and

Natural Resources Division, Department
