This CLE webinar, featuring Lowenstein partner Mark S. Heinzelmann, will address the implications of ongoing CERCLA liability for potentially responsible parties (PRPs) given the EPA's 2024 guidance indicating that closed Superfund sites may be reopened (1) to address PFAS contamination and (2) due to reduced screening levels for lead-contaminated soil. The panel will address remedial measures that PRPs may want to take in advance of possible site reopening and discuss methods of mitigating risk including insurance considerations and language in consent decrees.
The panel will also review these and other important issues:
- Under what circumstances may the EPA reopen closed Superfund sites? What recent developments may prompt reopening sites?
- How may reopened Superfund sites impact former PRPs? New PRPs?
- What remedial measures may PRPs take in advance of possible reopening?
- What insurance considerations should counsel and their clients examine when faced with the possibility of a reopened Superfund site?
- What are best practices for limiting liability and mitigating risk?
Speakers:
- Mark S. Heinzelmann, Partner, Lowenstein Sandler LLP
- Andrew P. Van Osselaer, Attorney, Haynes and Boone
- Cynthia M. Teel, Partner, Lathrop GPM
