EPA v. SOUTHEAST ROCKFORD GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION EMERGENCY SITE ACCESS

Case summary

IN THE SPRING OF 2004 US EPA ASSISTED IL EPA BY ISSUING AN ORDER FOR ACCESS FOR AREA 7 OF THE SOUTHEAST ROCKFORD GROUNDWATER SITE. AFTER A CONFERENCE, THE PROPERTY OWNER, MR. EKBERG, DID SIGN THE STATE'S ACCESS AGREEMENT, BUT IN LATE AUGUST RESCINDED PERMISSION. ORC WORKED UP AN ADVISORY LETTER TO THE PRP'S NEW COUNSEL EARLIER THIS MONTH, ASKING IN ESSENCE IF THEY STILL MAINTAINED THIS NEW COURSE OF ACTION. THE REPLY WAS STILL ACCESS DENIED. THIS REFERRAL IS A MEANS OF TRANSMITTING THINGS TO DOJ, TO GET JUSTICE TO BRING THIS WHOLE THING TO THE ATTENTION OF THE COURT HEARING LIABILITY ARGUMENTS, AND TRYING TO GET APPROPRIATE RELIEF WITH THE AID OF THE COURT.
