United States of America v. Charles George Trucking, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided September 13, 1994No. 93-1691, 93-2372PublishedCited by 50 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
These appeals arise out of two consent decrees that together resolve a majority of the cost recovery disputes associated with the cleanup of a hazardous waste site in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts (the Site). Appellants, who are the principal owners and operators of the Site, 1 strive to convince us that the district court misjudged the relevant goals of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, & Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9675, and, therefore, erred in placing its imprimatur on the decrees. We are not persuaded.
