SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA conducted a Fund-lead Time-Critical
Removal Action at the Recycletronics--Akron Farm Facility Superfund
Site (Site) located at 16998 160 St., Akron, Iowa between March 2022
and July 2022 to remove approximately 944 tons of lead-containing
cathode ray tube glass from the Site. Lead is a hazardous substance as
defined by CERCLA.
To recover some of its response costs, the EPA negotiated a
proposed CERCLA section 122(g)(4) De Minimis Contributor Administrative
Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent Agreement (settlement) with
multiple potentially responsible parties that arranged for disposal of
hazardous waste at the Site. The EPA will enter the proposed Agreement
with Allied Plastics LLC, Cascade Asset Management LLC, OmniSource LLC,
Schupan Recycling a/k/a Schupan & Sons Inc., and Universal Recycling
Technologies LLC (collectively, the ``de minimis parties''). The de
minimis parties agree to pay EPA for their portion of EPA's costs
incurred in responding to the time-critical removal action at the Site.
The settlement includes a covenant by EPA not to sue or take
administrative action against the de minimis parties, pursuant to
sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA.
For thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this
document, EPA will receive written comments relating to the settlement.
EPA will consider all comments received and may modify or withdraw its
consent to the settlement agreement if comments received disclose facts
or considerations that indicate that the proposed settlement is
inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. EPA's response to any comments
received will be available for public inspection at EPA Region 7, 11201
Renner Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219.
James Macy,
Regional Administrator, EPA Region 7.
