The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a proposed settlement agreement related to the "Delta Shipyard" Superfund Site in Houma, Louisiana. This agreement aims to recover response costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The settlement involves Dean Services West, LLC, paying $350,000 based on an Ability to Pay Analysis. The public can comment on this agreement until February 16, 2021, by contacting EPA Assistant Regional Counsel Amy Salinas via email.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to make a company pay $350,000 to help clean up a dirty site in Louisiana, and people can share their thoughts about this plan by February 16, 2021. But, it's not clear why this amount was chosen or what exactly the cleanup costs are, and it might be hard for some people to comment because they need the internet.
