EPA v. SOLAR USAGE, INC.

Case summary

THIS CERCLA 106 REMOVAL CASE INVOLVES AN ABANDONED SOLAR HOME BUILDING /SOLAR FACILITY IN BASCOM, OHIO. THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE FACILITY (MR. JOE DEAH ) DIED 2-3 YEARS AGO. CURRENTLY, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE SENECA COUNTY (OA) AUDITOR FOR SALE IN A TAX FORFEITURE AUCTION. THERE ARE, AT PRESENT THREE (3) TAX LIENS ON THE PROPERTY. 1) A $12,000 LIEN AGAINST BACK COUNTY TAXES OWED TO SENECA COUNTY OA; 2) A FEDERAL LIEN HELD BY THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ( SBA ) FOR AN UNDISCLOSED SUM; AMD A FEDERAL TAX LIEN HELD BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ( IRS ) FOR $190,000. I AM WORKING WITH OSC STEVE RENNENGER AND ES EVETTE BRYANT TO FIND POSSIBLE PRPS AND SEND THEM GENERAL NOTICE AND DEMAND LETTERS. WE ARE ALSO CONSIDERING A SUPERFUND LIEN, IF A CLEANUP IS FUND-LED. HOWEVER, IN LIGHT OF THE OUTSTANDING LIEN AMOUNTS ALREADY ENCUMBERING THE PROPERTY, THAT MAY NOT BE OF USEFUL SIGNIFICANCE. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER AGREEMENT - 10/01/97 (ORC ATTORNEY)
