SEA Prepared a draft
Expert Report and provided guidance to a coverage group defending a damage
claim by a Western smelting operation. Smelter claimed that numerous
historical "accidental" releases would have separately caused Superfund NPL
listing despite years of chronic and excessive emissions in knowing violation
of applicable Federal and State standards. Case was settled prior to
deposition in a manner satisfactory to the coverage group.
