In this action, as set forth in the First Amended Compliant, the United States seeks to recover, pursuant to section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, the costs incurred and to be incurred by the United States in responding to the release and/or threatened release of hazardous substances at and from the Waste Disposal Incorporated Site (“WDI Site”) in Santa Fe Springs, California, the Operating Industries Site (“OII site”), in Monterey Park, California, and the Casmalia Resources Superfund Site (“Casmalia Site”), in Casmalia, California.
