Region III has referred a cost recovery action under Sections 107(a) and 113 of CERCLA in connection with the I-81 Tractor Trailer Chemical Spill Superfund Site in Fort Defiance, Augusta County, Virginia.  The Region seeks to recover unreimbursed costs of approximately $738,538.96 incurred in connection with the removal action at the Site.  The recommended defendant is Logistics International- Georgia, Inc. (ALIG@).  On February 5, 2005, a tractor trailer owned by LIG, carrying 20,000 pounds of materials containing hazardous substances, caught fire while traveling on Interstate 81 (AI-81 ) in Virginia.  The fire resulted in the release of the contents of the trailer, which included chromium, hexavalent chromium, and silver nitrate, to the soil along I-81 and to a nearby stream.  After initial responses by LIG and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, EPA=s emergency removal action began on February 22, 2005, and included excavation of 222 tons of soil from the area of the truck fire and along I-81, as well as removal of approximately 40,000 gallons of water from the stream.
