Matter of A.E. Schnieder Scrap Yard, Chippewa Falls, WI

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Settlement of CERCLA section 107 cost recovery matter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to settle a cost recovery claim with a 
potentially responsible party (PRP) with regard to past costs at the 
A.E. Schnieder Scrap Yard site (the Site) in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. 
The EPA is authorized under Section 122(h) of the CERCLA to enter into 
this administrative settlement.
    Response costs totaling $345,080 were incurred by EPA in connection 
with an emergency removal action at the Site. On September 4, 1996, EPA

Settling Party has agreed to pay $300,000 to settle EPA's claim for 
reimbursement of response costs related to the Site. The EPA is 
proposing to approve this administrative settlement because it 
reimburses EPA, in part, for costs incurred during its response 
activities at this Site.
