EPA v. Amparit Industries LLC et al. - LCDM Onondaga

Case summary

On April 16, 2026, a third and final consent decree regarding the Ley Creek Deferred Media Operable Unit (LCDM OU) of the Onondaga Lake Superfund Site was entered in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. The consent decree resolves EPA�s CERCLA claims against six Settling Defendants, including two peripheral and four ability to pay parties, as well as the Settling Defendants� liability related to a contribution action filed against them by the RACER Trust (the environmental response trust created by the General Motors bankruptcy) and counterclaims filed in that action. The United States received no public comment following the consent decree�s lodging on February 2, 2026. Under the terms of the consent decree, the six Settling Defendants shall pay a cumulative $245,300 to EPA. Because these six parties are the sole remaining Defendants in the above-mentioned RACER litigation, the entry of this consent decree ends that litigation. The two consent decrees already entered in this case collectively require 29 parties to pay over $14.5 million to EPA in connection with their CERCLA liability relating to the LCDM OU.
