Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993





ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Arrowhead. - ----------
CMC, which has a 15 percent ownership interest in and acts as Managing Agent for Hibbing Taconite Company, a joint venture, has been included as a named defendant in a suit captioned United States of America v. Arrowhead Refining Company, et al., which was filed on or about September 29, 1989 in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, Fifth Division. In that suit, the United States seeks declaratory relief and recovery of costs incurred in connection with the study and remedial plan conducted or to be conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("U.S. EPA") at the Arrowhead Refinery Superfund Site near Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota. In that suit, the United States has alleged that CMC and the other 14 named defendants, including former and present owners of the Arrowhead site, are jointly and severally liable for $1.9 million, plus interest, representing the amount incurred for actions already taken by or on behalf of the U.S. EPA at the Arrowhead site, and are jointly and severally liable for the cost attributable to implementation of a remedial plan adopted by the U.S. EPA with respect to the Arrowhead site, which remedial action is estimated by the U.S. EPA to cost $30 million. CMC has filed an answer to the suit denying liability. It is not possible presently to estimate the amount of CMC's potential liability, if any. Since January 31, 1991, CMC and 13 of the other named defendants have filed a counter claim against the United States and further complaints naming additional parties as third party defendants. The counter claim and third party complaints allege that the parties named therein are jointly and severally liable for such costs. During the year certain defendants have been dismissed, and as of December 31, 1993 there are 140 third party defendants named in this suit. It is not expected that this matter will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Rio Tinto. - ----------
On July 21, 1993, Iron and Cliffs Copper Corp, a subsidiary of the Company, each received Findings of Alleged Violation and Order from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Protection, State of Nevada. The Findings allege that tailings materials left at the Rio Tinto Mine, located near Mountain City, Nevada, are entering State waters which the State considers to be in violation of State water quality laws. The Rio Tinto Mine was operated by Cliffs Copper Corp from 1971 to 1975 and by other companies prior to 1971. The Order requires remedial action to eliminate water quality impacts. The Company does not believe the potential liability, if any, to be material. The Company believes that it has substantial defenses to claims of liability and intends to vigorously defend alleged violations.
Summitville. - ------------
On January 12, 1993, Iron received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency a Notice of Potential Liability at the Summitville mine site, located at Summitville, Colorado, where Iron, as one of three joint venturers, conducted an unsuccessful copper ore exploration activity from 1966 through 1969. On June 25, 1993, Iron received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency a Notice of Potential Involvement in certain portions of the Summitville mine site. The mine site has been proposed for listing on the National Priorities List under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. The Company does not believe the potential liability, if any, to be material. The Company has substantial defenses to these claims of liability.
