On December 22, 2011, the United States District Court for Massachusetts entered an Order requiring Defendant, Tucard, LLC, to pay a $3,000 penalty to the United States resulting from a judicial case in which the United States successfully sought access to the Navy Yards Mill Superfund Site (�Site�) in Dracut, Massachusetts. EPA requested to enter the Defendant�s property to investigate contamination leading to vapor intrusion at the Site. Defendant denied EPA access, so the Region issued an administrative access order and then filed a judicial action when the Defendant did not comply with the administrative order.
