EPA v. Joyce A. Kjellgren
Unilateral Administrative Order Without Adjudication
Case summary
Region 2 issued an Administrative Order Directing Compliance with Access relating to the Gowanus Canal Superfund Site, which is located in Brooklyn, New York. As a result of years of discharges, storm water runoff, sewer outflows and industrial pollutants, the Canal is extensively contaminated with PCBs, coal tar wastes, heavy metals and volatile organics. The Order requires the landowner to provide access for EPA's installation and sampling of groundwater monitoring wells at her property along the Gowanus Canal in support of the EPAs ongoing remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS).
