I. BACKGROUND <~
A. SRS, Inc. (formerly Solvents Recovery Service, Inc.) ("SRS") is a corporation
organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey. SRS owned and
operated a hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility near the Quinnipiac River
in Southington, Connecticut from 1955 to 1960 ("SRSNE facility"). In 1960, SRS transferred
the SRSNE facility to Solvents Recovery Service of New England, Inc. {"SRSNE"), its wholly-
owned subsidiary. SRSNE has owned and operated the SRSNE facility since 1960. Carleton
Boll, a resident of the State of New Jersey, is the president, sole director and majority
shareholder of SRS, and the president and sole director of SRSNE.
B. The SRSNE facility occupies approximately three acres on Lazy Lane, in the
Town of Southington, Hartford County, Connecticut. The facility property is bordered on the
east by the Conrail right-of-way and the Lazy Lane property. The Town of Southington
wellfield property is situated to the south and contains Town Production Wells Nos. 4 and 6.
In December, 1977, Town of Southington drinking water Production Well Number 4 was shut
down due to the presence of elevated levels of volatile organic compounds. Town of
Southington drinking water Well Number 6 was shut down in August, 1979 for the same
reason. Wells Nos. 4 and 6 are located approximately 1,900 and 1,300 feet south of the
SRSNE facility, respectively.
C. Sampling at the SRSNE facility reveals the presence of a number of "hazardous
substances" as defined by CERCLA Section 101(14), 42 U.S.C. § 101(14), including, but not
limited to: toluene, ethyl benzene, vinyl chloride, cadmium, manganese and barium.
D. In 1979, the United States of America ("United States"), on behalf of the
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), filed a complaint
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), 42 U.S.C. Si 6901 et sea.,
and the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § § 1251 fllsfifl., with regard to the SRSNE facility. The
- 1
principal relief sought was an injunction requiring defendant SRSNE to halt the release of
hazardous wastes, mitigate the contamination™ the soil and groundwater, and prevent further
migration of this contamination. United States v. Solvents Recovery Service. Civ No. H-79
704 (JAC). The Town of Southington Board of Water Commissioners and the Connecticut
Fund for the Environment intervened as plaintiffs in that action.
E. On February 23,1983, the Court entered a Consent Decree in Civil Action No.
H-79-704-JAC requiring SRSNE to undertake certain steps to clean up the then existing
contamination at the SRSNE facility and prevent future contamination ("1983 Consent
Decree").
F. Pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. % 9605, the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") placed the SRSNE facility on the National Priorities
List ("NPL"), set forth at 40 C.F.R. Part 300, Appendix B, by publication in the Federal
Register on September 8, 1983, 48 Fed. Reg. 40658. The SRSNE facility was thereafter
designated as the SRSNE Superfund Site (the "Site").
G. In response to a release or a substantial threat of a release of hazardous
substances at or from the Site, EPA commenced, in 1990, a Remedial Investigation and
Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") for the Site pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 300.430.
H. On January 21, 1986, the State of Connecticut (the "State"), under the
authority granted by the Administrator of EPA, pursuant to Section 3006 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.
§ 6926, issued a RCRA permit authorizing SRSNE to operate a hazardous waste storage
facility at the SRSNE facility (Permit No. CTD009717604).
I. In April, 1986, EPA issued SRSNE a permit under the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments to RCRA ("HSWA permit"), in order to require certain corrective actions
at the SRSNE facility. This permit took effect on August 21, 1986.
- 2
J. A release or threatened release of hazardous substances at or from the Site has
caused the United States and the State to incur response costs pursuant to Section 104 of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. S 9604, and further costs will be incurred.
K. On July 23, 1990, the United States, on behalf of EPA, moved to enforce the
1983 Consent Decree seeking injunctive relief, stipulated penalties, and penalties for civil
contempt against SRSNE under the 1983 Consent Decree. The United States also filed a
complaint in this matter seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties against SRSNE for violation
of its permit under the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to RCRA, and the ban on
land disposal of certain hazardous wastes, 42 U.S.C. § 6924, and 40 C.F.R. Part 268 (the
"1990 Complaint"). The United States additionally requested judgment against all named
Defendants pursuant to Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. S 9607, for all response costs
incurred to date by the United States in connection with the release or threatened release of
hazardous substances at the SRSNE facility and a declaratory judgment establishing that
defendants are jointly and severally liable for all response costs to be incurred by the United
States in the future in connection with the Site.
L. Pursuant to an Order of this Court dated February 22, 1991, the Connecticut
Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP") was made a party in this matter. In
accordance with the National Contingency Plan ("NCP") and Section 121 (f)(1 )(F) of CERCLA,
42 U.S.C. § 9621(f)(1)(F), EPA notified the State on October 8, 1991, of negotiations with
Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") regarding the PRPs' performance or funding of
response actions at the Site and EPA has provided the State with an opportunity to participate
in such negotiations and to be a party to this Consent Decree.
M. In accordance with Section 122(j)(1) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ! 9622(j)(1}, EPA
notified the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of
the Interior on December 10, 1991, of negotiations with Potentially Responsible Parties
- 3
regarding the release of hazardous substances that may have resulted in injury to the natural
resources under Federal trusteeship and encouraged the trustees to participate in the
negotiation of this Consent Decree.
N. The purpose of this Consent Decree is to provide for Settling Defendants'
payment of their fair share of the costs of the remedial actions that have been and will be
undertaken at the Site and of the United States' other CERCLA response costs and to
terminate the 1983 Consent Decree.
0. The Settling Defendants do not admit any liability to the United States or the
State arising out of the transactions or occurrences alleged in the complaint or otherwise.
P. The United States, the State, and Settling Defendants desire to settle this
matter without further litigation.
Q. The Parties recognize, and the Court by entering this Consent Decree finds, that
this Consent Decree has been negotiated by the Parties in good faith, that implementation of
this Consent Decree will expedite the cleanup of the Site and will avoid prolonged and
complicated litigation between the Parties, and that this Consent Decree is fair, reasonable,
and in the public interest.
THEREFORE, with the consent of the parties to this Decree, it is hereby ORDERED,
ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
