EPA v. CHLOR-ALKALI
Final Order No Penalty
Case summary
On March 4, 2009, the Region referred the Chlor-Alkali Superfund Site, Berlin, New Hampshire (the Site ) to the Department of Justice for filing of a Complaint in Aid of Access on behalf of EPA to obtain an order for access to the Site to perform Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) activities. This action is necessary because EPA has been unable, despite diligent efforts, to locate a property owner for this Site. Although the Region did obtain a 90-day warrant for access to the Site in October 2008, the RI/FS activities are expected to take more than two years to complete. Accordingly, the Region is now pursuing a more permanent access order.
