THIS IS A COST RECOVERY REFERRAL FOR PRIMARILY OVERSIGHT COSTS FOR THE SITE. SOME OF THE PRPS HAD CONDUCTED AN RI/FS UNDER A CONSENT ORDER AND HAD COMPLIED WITH AN INTERIM ACTION SECTION 106 UNILATERAL ORDER. NEGOTIATIONS FOR AN RD/RA CONSENT DECREE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. A SECOND SECTION 106 ORDER WAS ISSUED. A GROUP OF THE PRPS ARE CARRYING OUT THE WORK UNDER THE SECOND ORDER. THE GROUP HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE U.S. EPA'S OVERSIGHT COSTS UNDER THE TERMS OF THE ORDER AND TWO NON-GROUP PRPS HAVE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER IN ANY FASHION. THE REFERRAL ALSO SEEKS DAMAGES UNDER SECTION 106(B). THE CONSENT DECREE MEMORIALIZES A SETTLEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WHEREBY MDOT WILL REIMBURSE THE UNITED STATES $150,000 OF ITS PAST RESPONSE COSTS RELATED TO THE CLARE WATER SUPPLY SITE. THE CLARE WATER SUPPLY NPL SITE INVOLVES CONTAMINATION OF A MUNICIPAL WELL FIELD. THE MAIN CONTAMINANT OF CONCERN IS TCE. THE SITE WAS LISTED ON THE NPL IN 1984.
