Case summary

On April 12, 2018, the Director of the Land and Chemicals Division signed a Final Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) with Hercules, LLC for the implementation of corrective measures at the former Hercules Facility located in Courtland, Virginia. The Consent Order was issued by Region III pursuant to Section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended ( RCRA ), 42 U.S.C. 6928(h). Under the terms of the AOC, Hercules, LLC (Respondent) has agreed to implement the Final Remedy selected by EPA in the Final Decision Response to Comments (FDRTC) issued on November 2, 2016. Respondent is required to submit to EPA for approval a Corrective Measures Implementation Plan (CMIP) for implementation of the Final Remedy. The CMIP will include a schedule for the Final Remedy, including: (1) continued groundwater treatment in Vul-Cup area of the Facility, (2) monitored natural attenuation of groundwater throughout the Facility, and (3) land use restrictions prohibiting residential use and groundwater use. On April 30, 2018, EPA announced the availability of the AOC to the public for a thirty (30) day review and comment period.
