Section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(h), provides EPA with the authority to enter into administrative settlements for claims for costs incurred by EPA under CERCLA.

The Settlement Agreement resolves certain claims under Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607. Under the Settlement Agreement, Respondent will perform certain response actions at the Site through July 31, 2013, pay over $1.7 million to reimburse the United States for certain past costs, pay certain future response costs, pay a civil penalty of $90,000, and perform a specified supplemental environmental project in Douglas County, Nevada, with costs estimated at $400,000. EPA estimates that the response actions to be performed under the Settlement Agreement will cost approximately $5,600,000.
