Mascot Mines, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 08-383-EJL, with Defendant Zanetti Brothers, Inc., was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The United States filed a complaint in September 2008, on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), alleging that Defendant Zanetti Brothers, Inc., is liable pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA for response costs incurred and to be incurred by the United States in connection with Operable Unit Three of the Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex Superfund Site in northern Idaho.

The settlement requires, among other things, that the Defendant pay $150,000, provide $50,000 worth of construction materials to EPA, and grant an easement to the State of Idaho. The settlement also requires the Defendant to assign its interest in applicable insurance policies to the Coeur d'Alene Basin Insurance Recovery Trust, established for the benefit of EPA and the natural resource trustees.
