Re: Notice of Potential L i a b i l i t y and Request for Information at

the Union Chemical Company, Inc. site in South Hope, Maine,

hereafter referred to as the "Site"

Dear T ] :

This l e t t e r serves to notify you of the potential l i a b i l i t y which

your company has or may have incurred with respect to the above-

referenced s i t e , to request your voluntary participation in

undertaking cleanup a c t i v i t i e s at the Site, to request that you

make restitution by payment of the costs incurred by the United

States Environmental Protection Agency's investigatory actions at

the Site, and to request that you provide information concerning

your company's involvement with the Site.

NOTICE OF POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND

REQUEST FOR PARTICIPATION IN CLEANUP ACTIVITIES

The Snited .States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has

documented the release and threatened release of hazardous

substances and pollutants or contaminants at the above-referenced

s i t e . EPA has spent and i s considering spending additional public

funds on actions to investigate and control such releases or

threatened releases at the Site. Unless EPA determines that a

responsible party w i l l properly perform such actions, EPA w i l l

i t s e l f perform these actions pursuant to Section 104 of the

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and L i a b i l i t y

Act, 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et sea. (CERCLA).

Under Sections 106(a) and 107(a) of CERCLA; Section 7003 of the

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6973 (RCRA);

and other laws, responsible parties may be obligated to implement

r e l i e f actions deemed necessary by EPA to protect the public health

and welfare or the environment and may be liable for a l l costs

incurred by the government in responding to any release or

threatened release at the Site. Such costs may include, but are

not limited to, expenditures for investigation, planning, or

cleanup and expenditures for enforcement a c t i v i t i e s . In addition,

potentially responsible parties (PRPs) may be requested to pay

damages for injury to, destruction of, or loss of natural

resources, including the costs to assess such damages.

2

Responsible part i e s under CERCLA include persons who are current

and former owners or operators of a s i t e , persons who arranged f o r

the disposal of hazardous substances found at a s i t e , and persons

who accepted hazardous substances f o r transport t o a s i t e selected

by such persons. During EPA's investigation of the Union Chemical

Company, Inc. s i t e , a large body of evidence was evaluated i n order

t o i d e n t i f y the PRPs a t the Site. This evidence included, but was

not l i m i t e d t o : Site business records, Site processing documents,

hazardous waste manifests, invoices, and information submitted by

PRPs i n response t o si m i l a r information requests.

Based on t h i s evidence and information provided by the [name of

company], EPA believes t h a t you are a PRP with respect t o t h i s

S i t e. S p e c i f i c a l l y , EPA believes t h a t you arranged by contract,

agreement or otherwise with the [name of Company] f o r disposal or

treatment of hazardous substances found at the S i t e . By t h i s

l e t t e r , EPA n o t i f i e s you of your p o t e n t i a l l i a b i l i t y w i t h regard to

t h i s Site and encourages you, as a p o t e n t i a l l y responsible party,

t o reimburse EPA f o r the costs incurred t o date and t o v o l u n t a r i l y

perform or finance the response a c t i v i t i e s t h a t EPA has determined

are required at the Site.

DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF COSTS INCURRED TO DATE

removal of over 2,000 drums containing over 100,000 gallons of

hazardous materials and sludges, and the ongoing performance of a

Remedial Investigation and F e a s i b i l i t y Study (RI/FS). At t h i s

time, EPA has recovered almost two m i l l i o n d o l l a r s i n response

costs at the Si t e . Additional expenses incurred by EPA f o r

continued response actions amount t o at least $1,246,410.12. The

Agency anticipates expending additional funds f o r response

a c t i v i t i e s at the Site under the authority of CERCLA and other

laws, including those response actions described below. I n

accordance with Section 107(a)(4)(D) of CERCLA, demand i s hereby

made f o r payment of the above amount plus any and a l l i n t e r e s t

authorized t o be recovered under that Section or any other

provision of the law. Demand i s also hereby made under these

a u t h o r i t i e s f o r payment of in t e r e s t on a l l future costs t h a t EPA

may accrue i n regard t o the Site.

FORTHCOMING RESPONSE ACTIVITIES AT THE SITE

EPA i s planning t o conduct the following studies and a c t i v i t i e s at

the Site:

l o c a l characteristics of the Site and t o define the

nature and extent of s o i l , a i r , surface water and

groundwater contamination at the S i t e ;

2. completion of the F e a s i b i l i t y Study t o evaluate the

f e a s i b i l i t y of possible remedial actions t o remove or

contaminants at the Si t e ;

3. design and implementation of the remedial actions

selected and approved by EPA f o r the S i t e ; and

4. operation, maintenance and monitoring necessary at the

S i t e .

I n addition t o those enumerated above, EPA may, pursuant t o i t s

a u t h o r i t i e s under CERCLA and other laws, decide t h a t other

clean-up a c t i v i t i e s are necessary t o protect public health, welfare

or the environment.
