an order requiring the Settling

liable as current owners and former

owners and operators of the Site, and

various private parties were liable as

generators that arranged for their wastes

to be disposed at the Site.

The proposed Consent Decree

requires the County of Oswego to

implement the selected remedy for the

Site at an estimated cost of $7 million.

The United States’ past response costs

of $1.8 million will be reimbursed by

the County of Oswego, five

municipalities that are former owners

and operators of the facility, and thirtythree other parties that generated

hazardous substances found on the Site.

EPA’s future response costs associated

with the Site and will reimburse the

assessing potential damage to natural

resources.
