BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act and 

The Clean Water Act 

Notice is hereby given that on October 

12, 2010, two proposed Consent Decrees 

in United States and State of Louisiana 

v. ConocoPhillips Company and Sasol 

North America Inc., Civil Action No. 

2:10-cv-1556, were lodged with the 

United States District Court for the 

Western District of Louisiana. 

In this action the United States, on 

behalf of the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency, the 

United States Department of the 

Interior, and the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration of the 

United States Department of Commerce, 

and the State of Louisiana, on behalf of 

the Louisiana Department of Wildlife 

and Fisheries (‘‘LDWF’’) and the 

Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality (‘‘LDEQ’’), sought, pursuant to 

Sections 106 and 107(a) of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 

9607(a), and pursuant to Section 311(f) 

of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 

1321(f), (1) Reimbursement of response 

costs incurred and to be incurred by the 

governments in connection with the 

Calcasieu Estuary Superfund Site 

(‘‘Site’’), (2) injunctive relief requiring 

performance of response actions by 

Defendants; and (3) recovery of damages 

for the injury to, destruction of, or loss 

of natural resources under the 

trusteeship of the federal and state 

trustees, as a result of releases and 

threatened release of hazardous 

substances into the environment at or 

from the Site, including the recovery of 

the costs of assessing such injury and 

damages and the future costs of 

overseeing and monitoring restoration 

actions. The Calcasieu Estuary 

Superfund Site is located in Louisiana 

and includes the aerial extent of 

contamination within the area of the 

Estuary encompassing Bayou Verdine, 

Bayou d’ Inde, Coon Island Loop, 

Clooney Island Loop, Prien Lake, Lake 

Charles, and the Calcasieu River from 

the saltwater barrier to Moss Lake. 

The United States and the State have 

negotiated two separate consent decrees 

to resolve the CERCLA and CWA claims 

against Settling Defendants, as well as 

the state law claims. The proposed 

Consent Decrees resolve the liability of 

ConocoPhillips Company and Sasol 

North America Inc. for response costs 

incurred and response actions taken in 

connection with the Site and for 

damages for injury to, loss of, or 

destruction of natural resources at the 

Site as alleged in the Complaint. Under 

the Consent Decree for Removal Action 

and Recovery of Response Costs, 

Settling Defendants have agreed to: (1) 

Reimburse the United States $4,553,547 

of past response costs for the Site and 

100% of future oversight costs related to 

the selected removal action for Bayou 

Verdine, and (2) perform a non-time 

critical removal action within Bayou 

Verdine and adjacent areas at the Site in 

accordance with the Action 

Memorandum for a Removal Action at 

the Calcasieu Estuary Superfund Site, 

Bayou Verdine Area of Concern, Lake 

Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, 

executed by EPA on August 6, 2003. 

This Consent Decree includes a 

covenant not to sue by the United States 

and the State under Sections 106 and 

107 of CERCLA, under Section 311(f) of 

the Clean Water Act, and under Section 

7003 of the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6973. 

Under the Consent Decree for Natural 

Resource Damages, Settling Defendants 

have agreed to (1) reimburse the federal 

and state trustees nearly $1,200,000 of 

past natural resource damages 

assessment costs, (2) perform 

construction of a restoration project 

selected by the trustees in accordance 

with the Final Restoration Plan and 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Bayou Verdine Site, and (3) pay an 

additional sum of $750,000 toward 

further monitoring or corrective action 

after completion of construction of the 

restoration project. Under the terms of 

the Consent Decree and the assessment 

and restoration plan finalized by the 

Trustees, the Settling Defendants will 

construct the Sabine Unit 1999 

Restoration Project to compensate for 

the natural resources losses attributable 

to Settling Defendants’ releases of 

hazardous substances into the Calcasieu 

Estuary. The Project will create over 14 

new acres of marsh, enhance the 

ecological functioning of approximately 

247 acres of existing marsh, and 

increase the expected functional life 

span of these marshes. It is to be 

performed in the Calcasieu Estuary at a 

designated site within the Sabine 

National Wildlife Refuge. This Consent 

Decree includes a covenant not to sue 

by the United States and the State under 

Section 107 of CERCLA and under 

Section 311(f) of the Clean Water Act. 

The two proposed Consent Decrees 

are to become effective only after both 

have been entered by the Court. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the Consent Decree.
