摘要

The Final Agreement is not entitled to a statutory contribution bar because it is neither an administrative nor judicially approved settlement for purposes of Section 113(f)(2). Furthermore, because Section 113(f)(2) is inapplicable, Section 113(f)(1) gives the court authority to allocate response costs among liable parties by using such equitable factors as it deems appropriate. Because the equitable method for allocation remains at issue, it is not clear whether LMC may be jointly and severally liable under Section 107(a) for more than its share of remediation costs incurred by PADEP. Thus, if judgment is granted in favor of the United States on LMC's properly asserted Section 113(f)(1) contribution claim and it is ultimately determined that LMC is a responsible party for purposes of Section 107(a), LMC will be unable to reduce its liability through Section 113(f)(1) allocation. Accordingly, because PADEP's Section 107 claim seeks to hold LMC jointly and severally liable for all remediation costs incurred for cleanup of the Site, the record does not establish that the United States is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Therefore, the court will deny the motion for summary judgment without prejudice to the United States's right to seek summary judgment once an appropriate allocation method is established.
