Abstract | The purpose of this interim guidance is to provide Regions with further direction for providing orphan share compensation in settlements with PRPs. Under CERCLA's joint and several liability system, at sites where there are parties who have no money to contribute to the cleanup or who are no longer in existence, viable potentially responsible parties (PRPs) are required to absorb the shares that may be attributable to such insolvent and defunct PRPS. Under this policy, EPA will offer compensation to settling parties who perform cleanups by forgiving past cost and projected oversight costs. |
