EPA v. SNYDER, ROBERT L. INRE

Case summary

MR. ROBERT L. SNYDER IS PRESIDENT, HOLDER OF 98% OF THE STOCK, AND OPERATOR OF A.H.-R.S. COAL CORPORATION, WHICH OWNS THE BRUIN LAGOON CERCLA SITE. COSTS HAVE BEEN & WILL CONTINUE TO BE INCURRED IN THE CLEANUP OF THAT SITE. THE U.S. HAS PREVIOUSLY FILED A PROOF OF CLAIM IN THE BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING OF THE CORPORATION (03-82-E010). THE U.S. HAS SOME REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE CORPORATION, UNDER MR. SNYDER'S DIRECTION AS OPERATOR, PLACED HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES INTO THE LAGOON IN ADDITION TO THOSE ALREADY PRE- SENT WHEN THE CORPORATION PURCHASED THE PROPERTY. IF THAT CAN BE PROVEN, MR. SNYDER CAN BE HELD PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR CLEANUP COSTS. A PROOF OF CLAIM IS TO BE FILED IN THE SNYDER BANKRUPTCY. (CROSS REFERENCE: 03-82-E010).
