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

    On May 24, 2018, 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. Stevens, Civil Action 
No. 2:18-cv-00402-PMW.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The 
United States' complaint names J. Daniel Stevens, in his capacity as 
trustee of the Fifam Trust, as defendant. The complaint requests 
recovery of costs that the United States incurred responding to 
releases of hazardous substances at the North Salt Lake HazMat Site in 
Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. Stevens, on behalf of the Fifam Trust, agrees 
to sell the Site property and to pay 75% of the net proceeds to the EPA 
Hazardous Substance Superfund in reimbursement of the United States' 
response costs. The United States will pay $302,950 to the EPA 
Hazardous Substance Superfund to resolve the alleged liability of the 
Department of Defense, the Defense Logistics Agency, and DLA 
Disposition Services. Under the consent decree, the United States 
agrees not to sue Mr. Stevens or the Fifam Trust under sections 106 or 
107 of CERCLA regarding the Site, and Mr. Stevens and the Fifam Trust 
agree not to sue the United States with respect to the Site. Mr. 
Stevens, the Fifam Trust, the Department of Defense, the Defense 
Logistics Agency, and DLA Disposition Services will receive protection 
against contribution claims under CERCLA with respect to the Site.
