Description
In 1994, the United States and the State of Idaho (together, "Plaintiffs") entered into a consent decree with various mining companies, including Hecla Mining Company and Asarco, Inc. (together, "Defendants"), requiring the latter to perform certain cleanup actions in exchange for specific liability releases in the seriously contaminated Bunker Hill Superfund Site. The site, also known as "the Box," is a twenty-one square mile area surrounded by the Coeur dAlene River Basin ("the Basin") in northern Idaho. In 2001, the District Court modified the consent decree for the Box ("the Box Decree" or "the decree") because it found that Defendants faced unanticipated liability outside the Box that made compliance with the decree substantially more onerous.
