DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree
In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, section
122(d)(2) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2), and Paragraph 4.1
of the underlying Consent Decree, notice is hereby given that a
proposed Amendment to the Consent Decree in United States v. Shell Oil.
Co., Case No. 83-cv-2379, was lodged with the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado on September 28, 2023.
Previously, a Consent Decree resolving claims under CERCLA related
to the former Rocky Mountain Arsenal outside of Denver, Colorado
between the parties was entered in this case on February 12, 1993. That
Consent Decree incorporated a February 12, 1989, Settlement Agreement
between the United States and Shell Oil. Under the Consent Decree, the
Army and Shell Oil are obligated to pay the Environmental Protection
Agency's CERCLA oversight costs for Army-led environmental cleanup
activities at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The proposed Amendment to the
Consent Decree changes the manner in which the Environmental Protection
Agency's CERCLA oversight costs will be paid, and fully resolves those
costs.
The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to
this proposed Amendment to the Consent Decree for thirty (30) days from
the date of publication of this Notice. Please address comments to
Phillip R. Dupr[eacute], Post Office Box 7611, Washington, DC 20044

Shell Oil Co., DJ No. 90-11-6-21352.

Colorado, 901 19th Street, Denver, CO 80294. In addition, the proposed
Consent Decree may be examined electronically at <a href="https://www.justice.gov/enrd/consent-decrees">https://www.justice.gov/enrd/consent-decrees</a>.
