DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On September 30, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Utah in the lawsuit entitled United States v. EIDP, Inc., f/k/a E.I.
Du Pont de Nemours and Company and Chemours Company FC, LLC, Civil
Action No.: 24-cv-722.
The United States filed a Complaint against EIDP, Inc., f/k/a E.I.
Du Pont de Nemours and Company, and the Chemours Company FC, LLC
(``Defendants''). The Complaint alleges that the Defendants are liable
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act for the United States' response costs incurred in
connection with a response action taken because of the release or
threatened release of hazardous substances at Operable Unit 1 of the
Uintah Mining District Superfund Site, in Park City, Summit County,
Utah (``Site''). The proposed Consent Decree requires the Defendants to
pay $209,846 to resolve the United States' response cost claim. The
Defendants are required to make the settlement payment within 15 days
of the Effective Date of the Consent Decree. The proposed Consent
Decree defines the ``Effective Date'' as the date that the Court
approves the Consent Decree. In exchange for the settlement payment,
the United States covenants not to sue the Defendants for any response
costs incurred at the Site prior to the Effective Date.

the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the
