DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) and Clean Water Act (CWA) 

Notice is hereby given that on January 

22, 2008, a proposed Consent Decree 

(Decree) in the case of United States, et 

al. v. United States Steel Corp., Civil 

Action No. 08–CV–4091–RDR–KGS, was 

lodged with the United States District 

Court for the District of Kansas. The 

United States, the Kansas Department of 

Health and Environment (KDHE), and 

the Secretary of KDHE (the federal and 

state trustees) filed the complaint in 

their capacities as natural resource 

trustees. The federal and state trustees 

seek recovery of natural resources for 

natural resource damages in connection 

with the Cherokee Lanyon #2 Site and 

the Girard Zinc Site (together, the Sites) 

in Girard, Kansas and the surrounding 

area. The Complaint alleges that the 

defendant, United States Steel 

Corporation (U.S. Steel), is liable as an 

owner or operator of smelters that were 

located at each of the Sites, or as a 

successor to owners or operators of the 

smelters. 

The Decree would settle the claims for 

injuries to natural resources at the Site 

in return for a total payment of 

$133,400, which includes $123,255 for 

restoration projects and $10,145 for 

reimbursement of natural resource 

damage assessment costs incurred by 

the federal and state trustees. As 

specified by the Decree, the joint 

recovery for restoration work would be 

deposited in the Natural Resource 

Damage Assessment and Restoration 

Fund administered by the United States 

Department of the Interior, and the 

federal and state trustees would make 

joint decisions concerning future 

restoration expenditures in accordance 

with a restoration plan that they would 

prepare. 

For thirty (30) days after the date of 

this publication, the Department of 

Justice will receive comments relating to 

the Consent Decree. Comments should 

be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, and either e-mailed

comments should refer to United States, 

et al. v. United States Steel Corp., D.J. 

Ref. No. 90–11–3–08705/2. 

The Decree may be examined at the 

Office of the United States Attorney,

Kansas 67202. During the comment 

period, the Consent Decree may be
