  • Summary of 2008 Settlement of Clark Fork River Remediation and Natural Resource Damages Claims and Related Restoration Plans
    MONTANA DEPARTMENT Helping to Restore, Replace, and Preserve OF JUSTICE NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE PROGRAM 1301 LOCKEY AVE PO BOX 201425 the Natural Resources of Montana HELENA, MT 59620-1425 (406) 444-0205 Summary of 2008 Settlement of Clark Fork River Remediation and Natural Resource Damages Claims and Related Restoration Plans Introduction The State of Montana, the United States, and Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) have negotiated a new Consent Decree (CD) that will settle certain litigation, provide for the funding of the remedial action at the Clark Fork River (CFR) Operable Unit and provide for certain restoration actions at the three sites where the State has pending natural resource damages (NRD) claims, namely the Clark Fork River, Butte Area One, and the Smelter Hill Uplands. This CD was lodged with the federal court on February 7, 2008. There is also a second consent decree, involving only the State and ARCO, which was lodged at the same time. Public comment is being sought on this settlement. As part of this settlement, ARCO is paying the State approximately $168 million. ARCO is paying about $95 million for the remedial cleanup provided for in the EPA 2004 Record of Decision for the CFR site; this includes about $11.7 million in interest accruing since April of 2006. The remedial payment settles EPA and the State’s claims for response costs at the site, and will provide for DEQ implementation of the remedy with EPA oversight. The remediation payment will be made in two payments, one year apart; the first payment will most likely be in August or September 2008.

When you think of Montana, do you picture skyscraping ranges of snowcapped rock? Historic, cultural centers that tell of a proud, self-determined West? A cowboy tipping his hat to you as he passes by on a boardwalk? Herds of elk under a sky so wide it seems to swallow you up? Then you’re picturing Southwest Montana, a region we humbly claim holds the best of what Montana is about. Here, you’ll meet a diverse mix of friendly people — hoteliers, restaurateurs, shopkeepers, historians, ranchers, miners, fly anglers, cowboys (and cowgirls) and more. You’ll have opportunities to glimpse elk, black bears, mule deer, moose, golden eagles and perhaps even a gray wolf. And you’ll find a treasure trove of places to rest your head — campgrounds along crystal streams, cabins in the woods, lavish Western resorts, dude ranches and comfortable hotels. Welcome to Southwest Montana. We’re glad to have you. CONTENTS: Augusta 287 or Dearb n R.
