Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

    On April 21, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of Washington in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Clallam 
County, Washington, et al., Civil Action No. 16-5300.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') 
against Clallam County, Washington, the Washington Department of 
Natural Resources, and the Washington National Guard. The complaint 
seeks recovery of costs incurred by the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency in responding to the release of hazardous substances 
at the Salt Creek Firing Range Site located primarily in Clallam 
County, Washington. The consent decree resolves the liability of the 
three defendants named in the lawsuit, as well as the United States 
Army Corps of Engineers and the United States Coast Guard. The United 
States, on behalf of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard, 
will pay $579,198.03; Clallam County will pay $165,485.15; Washington 
State Department of Natural Resources will pay $74,468.32; and the 
Washington National Guard will pay $8,274.26. In return, the United 
States agrees not to sue the defendants under Section 107 of CERCLA.
    Publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
