The United States, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), and the Secretary of KDHE (the federal and state trustees) filed the complaint in their capacities as natural resource trustees. The federal and state trustees seek recovery of natural resources for natural resource damages in connection with the Cherokee Lanyon #2 Site and the Girard Zinc Site (together, the Sites) in Girard, Kansas and the surrounding area. The Complaint alleges that the defendant, United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel), is liable as an owner or operator of smelters that were located at each of the Sites, or as a successor to owners or operators of the smelters. The Decree would settle the claims for injuries to natural resources at the Site in return for a total payment of $133,400, which includes $123,255 for restoration projects and $10,145 for reimbursement of natural resource damage assessment costs incurred by the federal and state trustees. As specified by the Decree, the joint recovery for restoration work would be deposited in the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Fund administered by the United States Department of the Interior, and the federal and state trustees would make joint decisions concerning future restoration expenditures in accordance with a restoration plan that they would prepare. For thirty

(30)days after the date of this publication, the Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to *pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov* or mailed to P.O.
