On June 5, 2023, Region 2 signed an Administrative Settlement Agreement for Recovery of Response Costs under CERCLA Section 122(h) with respect to the Marko Engraving & Art Corp. Site. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Site owner, will pay $225,000, plus interest, to resolve her potential liability for past response costs paid by EPA in performing a removal action at the Site. The payment is to be made upon the Respondent selling three properties, including the Site property, and using the proceeds from the three sales to pay the settlement amount. In exchange for the payment, the Respondent will receive a covenant not to sue under CERCLA Section 107(a) for Past Response Costs, as that term is defined in the Settlement Agreement, and EPA will release the federal lien on the Site property arising under Section 107(l) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ? 9607(l).
