DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On August 30, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western
District of Oklahoma in United States v. Land O'Lakes, Inc., et al.,
Civil Case No. 5:16-cv-00170 (W.D. Okla.).
The United States filed this lawsuit under Section 107 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, to recover its past response costs
incurred at the Hudson Refinery Superfund Site in Cushing, Oklahoma
(``Site''). The Consent Decree requires that Defendants pay the United
States $5.7 million to reimburse those past response costs. The Consent
Decree also resolves alleged violations by Defendant Land O'Lakes, Inc.
of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CERCLA Unilateral
Administrative Order at the Site.

the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
