UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and
THE STATE OF WISCONSIN,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 10-C-910

NCR CORPORATION, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER

The government lodged a proposed consent decree involving P.H. Glatfelter Company and
Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP with the court in January 2019, which was subject to a
thirty-day public comment period. On March 14, 2019, the government filed an unopposed motion
seeking court approval of that settlement and vacatur of certain prior decisions. Upon review of the
decree and the brief in support, the court finds that the settlement is reasonable, is consistent with
the purposes of CERCLA, and will help achieve clarity and finality. The government also seeks
entry of an order vacating three of the court’s decisions: the January 3, 2017 Decision and Order on
Plaintiffs’ Motion in Limine, the February 5, 2018 Decision and Order on Cross Motions for
Summary Judgment on Recovery of Response Costs from P.H. Glatfelter Co., and the July 13, 2018
Decision and Order Denying Plaintiffs’ Motion for Reconsideration. The vacatur of those decisions
is a condition precedent to the settlement. I conclude that it is appropriate to vacate those decisions
to facilitate a settlement.
