EPA v. RICHARD SANSONE / BLACKBURN & UNION PRIVILEGES SUPERFUND SITE

Case summary

On May 1, 2017, EPA signed three Administrative Orders for Access relating to the Blackburn and Union Privileges Superfund Site. The Sansone Order will require the property owner to allow Settling Defendants (W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn., Medtronic, the Shaffer Realty Nominee Trust and the B.I.M. Investment Corporation) to implement a component of the cleanup remedy under a Consent Decree. Despite repeated requests over the last two years and despite EPA?s delaying the effective date of the Order, Sansone has not signed an access agreement with the Settling Defendants or granted access to EPA. By letter dated July 17, 2017, EPA notified Sansone in writing that the Order would become effective on Friday, July, 21, 2017, unless EPA received a signed Access Agreement prior to that date. To date, EPA has not received a signed agreement giving EPA access or an access agreement agreed to and signed by the property owner and the Settling Defendants.
