The Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) is a CERCLA Section 122(h) settlement with 10 private parties and 5 federal agencies who sent explosive waste to the Denova Environmental Site. EPA performed a time critical removal action at the Denova Site to remove over 750 containers of hazardous wastes and 550,000 pounds of explosive wastes. Under the terms of the proposed AOC, the parties have agreed to pay $1,216,352 for their share of EPAÂs past Response Costs for the Removal. EPA will covenant not to sue or to take administrative action against the settling parties pursuant to CERCLA § 107 for past costs for the Removal. EPA also agrees to grant the parties contribution protection under CERCLA §113(f)(2) and § 122(h)(4) for the past response costs.
