pcb landfill
Kathy Cooper in our office handled the cost recovery action filed
against Buck Ward for money spent on the pcb situation as of 1984.
She got a judgment for about 3.5 million, and has been able to recover
most of it. Approx. $425,000 is in an A.G. account to be distributed
to various state agencies to reimburse them for money spent as of
1984. She expects to receive an additional $74,000 soon. The old
DHR/Health Services group had expended approx. $16,000; they have
already been reimbursed.
Kathy and I have talked about using some of the remaining
$425,000 + 74,000 to bring the landfill into compliance with the
federal regs. Kathy thinks that she could justify spending some
of the money to do that. She would argue that cleanup is first
priority, and that if any money is left over after the landfill is
brought into compliance, that the remainder could be divided among the
state agencies who are owed money for expenses incurred prior to 1984.
FYI, the state agencies who are slated to share in the $425,000+ are
DOT. DOA, Crime Patrol and Public Safety, and the SBI. Do you have an
idea about how much money 'Y.wu are going to need to do what you want to_ -
do out there? I will be at the mston-Salem Office all day tomorrow.
-I'll stop over when I get back. (I stopped over today, but missed
you.)
