$5.15 Billion Settlement for Environmental Liabilities - Largest Ever Recovery
Earlier today, April 3, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice announced its largest ever environmental enforcement recovery case involving a $5.15 billion settlement, $4.4 billion of which will go to environmental cleanup and claims. The settlement, with Kerr-McGee Corporation and certain of its affiliates, along with their parent company Anadarko Petroleum, arose from the 2009 bankruptcy of Tronox, Inc., and a December 2013 ruling by the federal bankruptcy court finding a fraudulent transfer of assets to avoid paying environmental cleanup obligations.
