EPA v. FOX RIVER NRDA/PCB RELEASES - CONSENT DECREE W/ NEWPAGE (CERCLA)

Case summary

The proposed Consent Decree would grant the United States and the State allowed general unsecured claims for a total of $1,157,254 that would be paid as allowed claims by the Litigation Trust. Because such claims are paid on a deeply discounted basis under NewPage�s Reorganization Plan, the actual distributions that the United States and the State will receive on those allowed claims may be as little as $50,000. The United States on behalf of EPA shall have an Allowed Claim (as that term is used in the Plan) of $475,300.50 for the Fox River Site (the �EPA Allowed Claim�), to be paid from the Fox River Reserve as an Allowed GD Class 3A General Unsecured Claim against NewPage Wisconsin under Plan Article III.
