EPA v. CDR Investments, LLC - D'Imperio Property

Case summary

On April 15, 2025, Region 2 signed an Administrative Order Directing Compliance with Request for Access (Order) directing CDR Investments, LLC (CDR) to provide EPA with access to property owned by CDR at the D�Imperio Property Superfund Site. The CDR Property is adjacent to the D�Imperio Property which was used as an authorized disposal area in the mid-1970s. The releases that occurred at the D�Imperio Property resulted in hazardous substances migrating into the Bridgeton and Cohansey Aquifers beneath the D�Imperio and CDR Properties. The potentially responsible parties, collectively known as the D�Imperio Site Group (Group), constructed a groundwater extraction and treatment system at the Site, including on the CDR Property, pursuant to a 1993 administrative order issued by EPA under Section 106(a) of CERCLA. In August 2023, CDR revoked access to the Group and EPA, which is overseeing the Group�s work, after which the Group sued CDR in state court to obtain access. CDR has been providing the Group with access during the state court litigation, but with the risk that access could be withdrawn at any time. The Order will provide a reliable basis for the Group to continue performing work as necessary under CERCLA and the 1993 Order, and for EPA to oversee the work, without threat of access being withdrawn.
