Rohm and Haas says 3rd Cir. decision on oversight costs does not revive U.S.'s time-barred CERCLA claims

摘要

Rohm and Haas Co. and Morton International Inc. contended on March 1 that the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision in United States v. E.I. Dupont De Nemours & Co. Inc. does not set a new favorable precedent that revives the United States' already time-barred CERCLA claims with respect to the Higgins Farm Superfund Site in New Jersey.rnThe two defendants object the Environmental Protection Agency's attempt to recover $400,000 in response costs more than 11 years after an administrative order of consent was entered. The case is in federal court for the District of New Jersey.
