This is a judicial consent decree which concludes a cost recovery case brought under Section 107 of CERCLA. The Settling Defendant is the owner of the Superfund Site. Under the terms of the Consent Decree, the Settling Defendant will sell the Site Property and pay the United States 100% of the net proceeds of the sale.
A supplemental referral was sent to the Department of Justice on September 23, 2014.
On March 23, 2020, the land was sold, allowing the Site property to immediately go back into productive reuse by a St. Croix construction company. As part of the sale, EPA received over $124,000, as required by the consent decree. EPA was pursuing enforcement of the CD, when in November 2019, it was contacted by the purchaser. EPA moved quickly to approve the terms of sale and provided the purchaser with both a Comfort Letter and a Release of Notice of Federal Lien.
