Summary

EPA is entering into an Administrative Order on Consent with the U.S. Navy and the S.T. Trust that will provide funding for EPA to implement a non-time critical removal action at the Gorst Creek Landfill. The Navy is liable under section 107(a)(3) and (4) as an arranger for disposal and transporter of waste to the landfill. The S.T. Trust is liable under section 107(a)(1) as the current owner of the site. The settlement agreement requires full payment of all costs of response necessary to remove and properly dispose of all waste in the landfill and to restore the creek ravine so that it provides natural hydrologic and ecologic functions. The removal action is estimated to cost $27 million.
