                    The complaint in this action seeks to recover, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. 9601,                     *et al.*, response costs incurred and to be incurred by EPA at the Caldwell Trucking Superfund Site located in the Fairfield, New Jersey (“Site”).                

One of the proposed Consent Decrees embodies an agreement with 76 potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at the Site pursuant to section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, to pay $2.75 million in settlement of claims for EPA's past and future response costs at the Site.
