## Summary

On February 13, 2018, Region 1 signed an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for Operable Unit 2 at the Davis Liquid Waste Superfund Site located in Smithfield, Rhode Island.  Operable Unit 2 concerns groundwater and surface water migration.  Previously, pursuant to a Consent Decree, a group of eight PRPs had been performing the groundwater remedy selected in a 2010 Record of Decision Amendment.  Due to technical concerns with performance of the remedy, the Region determined that further RI/FS investigation was needed.  All of the PRPs that signed the Consent Decree have signed this agreement for performance of the RI/FS.  During the 1970's and 1980's, the site owner disposed of variety of liquid and solid wastes at the Site, including wastes containing volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals.  As a result of this disposal, contaminants have migrated to the surface water and groundwater. The State is aware of and supports this RI/FS settlement.
