`
`Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9606
`
`and 9607(a), as amended (“CERCLA”), and 7 Del.C. § 9109, relating to the Delaware Sand and
`
`Gravel Superfund Site (“the Site”) located in New Castle County, Delaware. Pursuant to Section
`
`106 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9606, and 7 Del.C. § 9109, the Agencies seek injunctive relief
`

`
`9613(g)(2), declaring that Defendants are liable for any future response costs that the United
`
`States and the State of Delaware may incur in connection with response actions that may be
`
`performed pertaining to the Site.

`
`GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
`
`The Site is a former sand and gravel quarry spreading over approximately 27
`
`27.
`
`acres. Sometime after quarrying operations ceased, the Site was operated as a privately owned
`
`waste landfill until 1976.
`
`28.
`
`During the time of its operation as a landfill, liquid and solid wastes and other
`
`hazardous substances were disposed of at the Site. This includes approximately 550,000 cubic
`
`yards of industrial and municipal wastes and construction rubble, and approximately 15,000
`
`drums containing liquids and sludge from chemical production, manufacturing and petroleum
`
`refining processes, which were found on the Site after the landfill’s closure.
`
`29.
`
`Hazardous substances, including benzene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, bis(2-
`
`chloroethyl)ether ("BCEE") and 1,4-dioxane, have been detected in soils at the Site. A plume of
`
`groundwater contaminants extends from beneath a portion of the Site known as the Drum
`
`Disposal Area through an aquifer (known as the Upper Potomac Aquifer) southward toward a
`
`well field operated by the Artesian Water Company that lies nearly one mile downgradient.
`
`30.
`
`Groundwater contaminants of concern at the Site are benzene, ethylbenzene,
`
`xylenes, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 1,4-dioxane, BCEE, naphthalene, N,N-
`
`dimethylaniline, arsenic, cobalt, iron and manganese. Among these contaminants, BCEE, 1,4-
`
`dioxane and manganese are of particular concern due to their mobility, persistence and potential
`
`impact on public water supply wells. Groundwater samples collected from the Upper Potomac
`
`Aquifer beneath the Site in 2013 contained BCEE at concentrations up to 690 micrograms per
`
`liter (µg/L), 1,4-dioxane at concentrations up to 2,800 µg/L, and manganese at concentrations up
`
`to 12,800 µg/L.

`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00731-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/03/22 Page 8 of 14 PageID #: 8
`
`31.
`
`Groundwater monitoring data also indicates that 1,2-dichloroethane and dissolved
`
`metals, primarily iron, manganese and cobalt, are being discharged into the Upper Potomac
`
`Aquifer under the Site from sources beneath the Army Creek Landfill, a former municipal waste
`
`disposal operation operated by New Castle County located adjacent to the Site’s western border.
`
`32.
`
`After being notified by DNREC of likely soil and groundwater contamination at
`
`the Site in or about November 1979, EPA conducted inspections, monitoring, evaluations,
`
`assessments, sampling, analysis, and other removal actions at the Site. Pursuant to Section 105
`
`of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9605, EPA placed the Site on the National Priorities List, set forth at
`
`40 C.F.R. Part 300, Appendix B, by publication in the Federal Register on September 8, 1983, 48
`
`Fed. Reg. 40650.
`
`33.
`
`In 1988, EPA selected a remedy for the Site in a Record of Decision. The remedy
`
`was modified by a Record of Decision amendment in 1993 (“1993 ROD Amendment”) and an
`
`Explanation of Significant Differences in 2003. Among other things, the remedy, as modified,
`
`included a slurry-wall containment system with in-situ soil treatment by soil vapor extraction and
`
`bioventing at the Drum Disposal Area.
`
`34.
`
`On June 14, 1995, this Court entered a Remedial Design/Remedial Action
`
`Consent Decree (“1995 Consent Decree”), which resolved the claims of a complaint brought by
`
`the United States and the State of Delaware in 1989 (Civ. No. 89-562-SLR). The 1995 Consent
`
`Decree required the settling defendants to install the slurry wall and implement other elements of
`
`the remedy set forth in the 1988 Record of Decision, as amended by the 1993 ROD Amendment.
`
`35.
`
`In a Five-Year Review Report for the Site, dated September 21, 2005, EPA
`
`concluded that the slurry wall remedy at the Drum Disposal Area of the Site was not functioning
`
`as designed due to gaps in the native clay unit that furnishes the base of the slurry-wall
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00731-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/03/22 Page 9 of 14 PageID #: 9
`
`containment system. In the next Five-Year Review Report for the Site, dated September 16,
`
`2010, EPA concluded that additional response actions were required due to the failure of the
`
`constructed remedy to meet performance standards at the Drum Disposal Area, and
`
`recommended the performance of a feasibility study to develop a comprehensive source control
`
`and groundwater remediation strategy.
`
`36.
`
`A group of defendants known as the DS&G Remedial Trust completed a
`
`Supplemental Site Characterization Report-Revision 2 (“SSCR”) in January 2016, and thereafter
`
`completed a Feasibility Study – Revision 1 (“FS”) in May 2016.
`
`37.
`
`Based on the findings of the SSCR and FS, EPA amended the remedy set forth in
`
`the original 1988 Record of Decision, as amended by the 1993 ROD Amendment. The
`
`Amended Record of Decision issued on December 12, 2017 sets out various response actions
`
`aimed at controlling and reducing groundwater contamination at the Site.

`The actions taken by the United States and the State of Delaware in connection
`
`with the Site constitute “response” actions within the meaning of Section 101(25) of CERCLA,
`
`42 U.S.C. § 9601(25), and the United States and the State of Delaware have incurred response
`
`costs in connection with such response actions.
`
`42.

`
`43.
`
`reference herein.
`
`44.
`
`CERCLA Subsection 113(g)(2), 42 U.S.C. § 9613(g)(2), specifies that in any
`
`action for recovery of costs under CERCLA Section 107, 42 U.S.C. § 9607, “the court shall enter
`
`a declaratory judgment on liability for response costs . . . that will be binding on any subsequent
`
`action or actions to recover further response costs . . . .”

`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00731-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/03/22 Page 11 of 14 PageID #: 11
`
`45.
`
`The United States and the State of Delaware will continue to incur response costs
`
`associated with the Site, including governmental enforcement costs that are recoverable as
`
`response costs under CERCLA.
`
`46.
`
`The United States and the State of Delaware are entitled to entry of a declaratory
`
`judgment that Defendants are jointly and severally liable to the United States and the State of
`
`Delaware for future response costs incurred by the United States and the State of Delaware in
`
`connection with the Site, to the extent that such costs are incurred in a manner not inconsistent
`
`with the National Contingency Plan.
`
`THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF
`(Injunctive Relief Under CERCLA Section 106)
`
`The allegations contained in Paragraphs 1-46 are re-alleged and incorporated
`
`47.
`
`herein by reference.
`
`48.
`
`U.S. EPA has determined that there is or may be an imminent and substantial
`
`endangerment to the public health or welfare or the environment because of actual and
`
`threatened releases of hazardous substances into the environment at and from the Site.
`
`49.
