Summary

Referral to DOJ with respect to four matters requesting the filing of a proof of claim in bankruptcy in connection with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case filed by Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation (Kaiser Acc), or to otherwise preserve EPA's rights with respect to Kaiser ACC's potential future environmental obligations. The bar date in the Kaiser Bankruptcy case has been set at January 31, 2003. The referral identifies three sites involving obligations under Section 107(a) of CERCLA, for which the Region requests that DOJ file a proof of claim. The sites are: the Breslube-Penn Superfund Site in Coraopolis, Moon Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; the Eastern Diversified Metals Site in Hometown, Rush Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania; and the Point Pleasant Landfill portion of the West Virginia Ordnance Works Site, located in Mason County, West Virginia. In addition, the referral identifies a matter concerning Kaiser ACC's Facility in Ravenswood, West Virginia, arising under Section 7003 of RCRA, for which Kaiser ACC has potential future environmental obligations to EPA or is otherwise involved, but which does not rise to a claim because EPA does not have a right to either: a) a payment or b) an equitable remedy for breach of performance which gives rise to a right to paymen
