Summary

On October 17, 2012, the Director of the Hazardous Site Cleanup Division signed a CERCLA Administrative Cost Recovery Settlement pursuant to Section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9622(h), with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo”) in connection with the Hamburg Mill Creek Superfund Site, in Hamburg, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Wells Fargo had previously performed a removal action, including but not limited to, excavation and removal of contaminated soil, site restoration and re-vegetation, confirmatory sampling of clean up, confirmatory documentation on appropriate disposal of contaminated soil and appropriate post-removal Site controls pursuant to a 2006 Administrative Order by Consent. Under the Agreement, Wells Fargo will pay cost recovery to the EPA Hazardous Substances Superfund to resolve its potential liability under Section 107(a) of CERCLA for response costs incurred by EPA in connection with the Site. Notice of the Administrative Cost Recovery Settlement will be published in the Federal Register for a thirty-day public comment period.
