Summary

The Region approved a CERCLA ? 104/107/122 Administrative Agreement under which twelve private entities (including, among others, Exxon Mobil Corporation; BP Products North America Inc.; DuPont; Chevron; Rohm & Haas; and Stauffer Management Company) will perform a removal response action selected by EPA at the Metro Container Corporation Site in Trainer, Delaware County, Pennsylvania (Site) and reimburse EPA?s oversight costs. The Site consists of (1) approximately 11 acres of land currently owned by Trainer Industries, LLC where for nearly a century there had been the manufacture of, among other things, machine oils, paraffin wax, and carbon disulfide, as well as drum reclamation and recycling activities (Metro Property), and (2) all locations to which hazardous substances or pollutants and contaminants have migrated from the Metro Property. The Site was placed on the NPL in March 2012; Under the settlement, the parties will perform an RI/FS at all areas of the Site except the Delaware River and will pay EPA's oversight costs. EPA agreed to exclude the Delaware River from the scope of the settlement after the parties advised EPA that they would not currently agree to do study work in the River. The Settlement makes clear that EPA reserves all rights to request or require (via another enforcement document that the parties extend the study into the Delaware River or to perform such work itself.
