EPA v. LEACH FAMILY HOLDINGS (RAYMARK)

Case summary

DURING THE REMEDIATION OF THE RAYMARK FACILITY, LEACH SPENT APPROXIMATELY $3,500,000 CONSTRUCTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT IMPROVEMENTS AT THE SAME TIME. EPA WAS REMEDIATING THE FACILITY. THIS INFRASTRUCTURE ENHANCED THE VALUE OF THE FACILITY AND WILL ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACILITY TO PROCEED MORE RAPIDLY. EPA HAS LODGED A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT WITH LEACH THAT IF APPROVED BY THE COURT WILL HAVE EPA PAY LEACH $1,500,000 FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS LEACH MADE, AND TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIMS LEACH AND EPA MIGHT HAVE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. EPA DOES NOT CONSIDER LEACH TO BE A LIABLE PARTY AND HAS FILED A COMPLAINT ONLY TO BRING THE SETTLEMENT BEFORE THE COURT FOR ITS APPROVAL.
