Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA); In the 
Matter of Spiegelberg Superfund Site, Green Oak Township, MI

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 
Spiegelberg site (the Site) in Green Oak Township, Michigan. EPA is 
authorized under section 122(h) of the CERCLA to enter into this 
administrative settlement.
    Response costs totaling $200,873.35 were incurred by EPA, between 
December 30, 1993 and September 30, 1997, in connection with the 
remedial action at the Site. On September 25, 1997 and October 22, 
1997, EPA sent the PRP demands for reimbursement of the EPA's past 
costs. The Settling Party has agreed to pay $194,000 to settle EPA's 
claim for reimbursement of response costs related to the Site. The U.S. 
Department of Justice has approved this settlement, consistent with 
section 122(h)(1) of CERCLA.
    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.
