Description

Defendant American Premier Underwriters, Inc. ("APU"), appeals the judgment for Plaintiff Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority ("CFA") following a bench trial in this cost-recovery action under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601- 9675, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA"), 100 Stat. 1613. APU makes eight arguments: (1) the material released at the site was never conclusively identified as a hazardous substance; (2) CFA did not incur response costs in a manner consistent with the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan ("NCP"), 40 C.F.R. Part 300, as required by CERCLA; (3) the hazardous material was not placed on the property while it was owned by a predecessor of APU; (4) CFA is not an innocent land owner under CERCLA; (5) even if the district court properly allowed CFA to include a contribution action, the district court abused its discretion by allocating 100% of the liability to APU under § 113; (6) the district court improperly allowed CFA to include a contribution action when it had only pleaded a response cost recovery action; (7) CFA's attorney fee award, totaling $10,818, was not a necessary response cost, as required by CERCLA; and (8) applying CERCLA retroactively to this case violates the Due Process and Takings Clauses. We AFFIRM for reasons slightly different than those given by the district court.
