EPA v. SOUTH CALVACADE_(BEAZER EAST)

Case summary

06/30/90: SYNOPSIS OF THE CASES: BEAZER EAST, INC. HAS SIGNED A CONSENT DECREE IN WHICH THE COMPANY HAS AGREED TO CONDUCT AND FINANCE THE RD/RA AND THE O&M AND REIMBURSE EPA FOR 96% OF PAST COSTS AND 100% OF FUTURE OVERSIGHT AND RESPONSES COSTS. EPA HAS NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THAT THE THREE CURRENT OWNERS (MR. REX KING, MERCHANTS, INC., AND BAPTIST FOUNDATION OF TEXAS) WERE RES- SPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSPORT DEPOSITION OR SPREAD OF CONTAMIN ATION AT THE SITE. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMOUNT OF COSTS NOT REIMBURSED $20,685.02, IS SUFFICIENTLY LOW TO JUSTIFY AVOID- ING THE EXPENSE AND RISK OF FURTHER LITIGATION. EPA'S CRITE RIA FOR SETTLEMENT IS DOCUMENTED IN THE TEN POINT SETTLEMENT CRITERIA ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT IN EPA'S REFERRAL.
