United States Files Court Settlement for Reimbursement of Costs at Findett
Corp. Superfund Site in St. Charles, Missouri
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 – 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa,
KS 66219
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Nine Tribal Nations
LENEXA, KAN. (JUNE 17, 2024) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) announced the filing of a settlement agreement with three
parties, requiring the payment of cleanup costs at the Findett Corp. Superfund
Site in St. Charles, Missouri. The settlement was filed in the United States
District Court of the Eastern District of Missouri.
The settlement agreement is issued under the authority of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly
known as Superfund. The settlement is subject to a 30-day public comment
period and final court approval. The public comment period ends July 17.
Under the terms of the settlement, the parties – Santolubes LLC, Santolubes
Manufacturing LLC, and Santolubes Spartanburg Holdings LLC – will pay a
total of $300,000 to resolve their liability to the United States. The
settlement funds will be utilized at, or in connection with, the site or to
otherwise fund EPA’s Superfund work.
The Superfund site includes areas where industrial operations of the Findett
Corporation, which conducted chemical manufacturing and recycling operations
between 1962 and 2009, resulted in the contamination of groundwater and soil
from releases of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic
compounds. EPA has been overseeing investigation and cleanup at the site since
the 1980s.
