The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a cost recovery settlement with U.S. Home, LLC, d/b/a Lennar, and B&J Excavating, Inc. regarding the A.I.W. Frank/Mid-County Mustang Superfund Site in Exton, Pennsylvania. The settlement requires the involved parties to pay the EPA $178,818.46 plus interest, covering the EPA's past response costs. The EPA is inviting the public to comment on this proposal until January 22, 2025. During this period, the agency may adjust or withdraw the settlement based on feedback received.
Simple Explanation
The Environmental Protection Agency (like a cleanup team for the Earth) made an agreement with two companies to pay them back for cleaning up pollution in Pennsylvania, but they need to hear from people if they think it's a good deal before they finalize it.
