Summary

May 26, 2010 administrative settlement agreement and order on consent requiring performance of a removal action at the Winthrop Street Drums Site in North Dighton, Massachusetts. The settlement requires three potentially responsible parties (PRPs) identified by EPA, namely, Zeneca Inc., Waste Management Disposal Services of Massachusetts, Inc., and the Barbara Gustafson Trust, to complete a removal action which includes, among other things, a geophysical survey to determine the extent of buried drums and contamination at the site, identification of hazardous substances located there, and the removal of known hazardous substances to a licensed off-site disposal facility. EPA estimates the cost of the removal at approximately $1.8million. The settlement also requires PRPs to reimburse EPA for over $93,000 in past costs incurred at the site and to pay all future costs in the event the PRPs fail to complete the clean-up and EPA is required to take over the work.
