EPA v. ANNISTON PCB SITE (MRC HOLDINGS, INC.) (OUs 1 & 2-ROD FOR UNAPPROVED WASTE DISPOSAL AREA )

Case summary

CERCLA 106/107 RD/RA CD INVOLVES RESPONSE WORK PLANNED AT THE UNAPPROVED WASTE DISPOSAL AREA (UWDA) PORTION OF OU1 (RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES/OU2 (NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES) (OU1 AND OU2) OF THE ANNISTON PCB SITE LOCATED IN ANNISTON, CALHOUN COUNTY, AL. THE RD/RA CD BETWEEN EPA, REGION 4, AND MRC HOLDINGS, INC. RESOLVES MRC'S POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR THE UWDA PORTION OF THE OU1/OU2 RECORD OF DECISION UNDER CERCLA. THIS ACTION IS BASED ON MRC's SUCCESSOR LIABILITY STATUS AS AN ARRANGER OF AUTO SHREDDER FLUFF MATERIAL CONTAINING PCBs AT THE UWDA AREAS OF THE SITE. THE EPA DETERMINED THAT THE ACTIVITIES OF MRC's CORPORATE PREDECESSOR (U.S. REDUCTION), FOR WHICH MRC IS LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE, ESTABLISH ITS CERCLA LIABILITY FOR THE CLEANUP. MRC-RELATED ENTITIES ADDED TO THE SITE CONTAMINATION THROUGH THE DISPOSAL OF NON-FERROUS AUTO SHREDDER FLUFF MATERIAL CONTAINING PCBs AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN ANNISTON.
