In response, Chicago Bridge says Trinity Industries is 'cherry-picking' facts about operations at plant

摘要

In a response, Chicago Iron and Steel Co. contended on Dec. 8 that the facts do not support summary judgment as to CB&I's liability under CERCLA but rather support judgment against Trinity as to each of Trinity's state law claims for common-law contribution, negligence perse, common-law indemnification and breach of contract with respect to contamination at the South Plant in Greenville, Mercer County. The case is in federal court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. (See Page 5.) CB&I says, "Trinity's faulty argument that it is just plain 'obvious' that CB&I must be liable under CERCLA or Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act rests upon a combination of selective cherry-picking of certain facts of record and mischaracterizations and misstatements of others relating to CB&I's historical operations at the South Plant."
