NATURE OF THE CASE (SUPERFUND SITE): BETWEEN JUNE & AUG 1978 OVER 30,000 GAL. OF PCB-CONTAMINATED TRANSFORMER OIL WERE DISCHARGED ALONG APPROX 210 MILES OF RALEIGH-DURHAM HIGHWAY. IN LATE SUMMER & FALL OF 1978 THE STATE COVERED THE CONTAMINATED SOIL W/ACTIVATED CARBON & EMULSIFIED ASPHALT. IN MAY 1982 THE STATE & EPA ENTERED INTO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR CLEANUP OF THE CONTAM SOIL. REMOVAL ACTION IS NOW CONTINUING. RESPONSIBLE PARTIES WERE CONVICTED IN FED COURT IN JUNE 1981 OF ILLEGAL DISPOSAL OF THESE WASTES. AS EARLY AS JANUARY 1981 THE CARBON-ASPHALT TREATMENT WAS NO LONGER VISIBLE. THERE IS A PENDING STATE SUIT AGAINST THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR CLEANUP COSTS & PUNITIVE DAMAGE.
