Kevin operates his business from a small shop located next to an abandoned gas station. He is concerned that the gas station’s underground storage tank is in danger of rupturing. If this occurs, hazardous chemical substances will spill into the local drinking water.
Unable to locate any of the gas station’s three owners, Kevin files a petition with the Environmental Protection Agency (or "EPA") requesting that the EPA inspect the gas station as called for by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (or "CERCLA"). Kevin’s petition is granted, and the EPA determines that a potentially hazardous situation does exist at the gas station.
Required:
(a) What type of clean-up action will the EPA likely determine is appropriate?
(b) If the EPA fails to clean-up the gas station, can Kevin be compensated for any expenses he incurs by cleaning-up the gas station himself?(c) If Kevin is able to locate one of the gas station’s three owners, how much of the cleaning expense can Kevin recover from this one owner?
