WOOD TREATMENT SITE IN NORTHPORT, AL, WITH SUBSTANTIAL SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION. ALLEGED RCRA VIOLATIONS AGAINST CURRENT AND PRIOR SITE OWNER. INSTANT REFERRAL DESCRIBES VIOLATIONS AGAINST PRIOR SITE OWNER.
TWO DEFENDANTS; TWO CDs REFERRED SEPARATELY. ONE IS PRIOR OWNER (JAMES GRAHAM BROWN FOUNDATION). ONE IS CURRENT OWNER (BROWN WOOD PRESERVING CO.)
FOR THE FOUNDATION CD, THE FOUNDATION WILL PERFORM RCRA CORRECTIVE ACTION AT THE SITE. ADEM (ALSO A CO-PLAINTIFF) WILL OVERSEE RCRA CORRECTIVE ACTION.
THIS IS A UNIQUE RCRA SETTLEMENT BECAUSE IT INVOLVES BOTH A CURRENT AND PRIOR OWNER.
