EPA v. ST ALBANS GAS & LIGHT COMPANY

Case summary

On March 5, 2015, EPA referred a cost recovery administrative Settlement Agreement under CERCLA Section 122(h)(1) to the Department of Justice for signature with regard to the St. Albans Gas & Light Superfund site (Site) in St. Albans, Vermont. Consistent with the ability to pay analysis, of the approximately $700,000 EPA spent responding to a time critical removal action, the Settlement Agreement requires that the Settling Party make a one-time cash payment of $41,694 to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund. The Settling Party, Mr. Adam Spell, is liable under CERCLA as the current owner of the Site. Following a required 30-day notice and comment period, EPA expects to make the Settlement Agreement effective. After an effective date is established, the Settling Party will have 30 days to pay for past response costs.
