Boushell, S

This policy supersedes EPA`s 1993 guidance on de micromis settlements and doubles the level previously identified for small party protection. This means that EPA`s policy is to not pursue parties whose contribution is equal to or less than: (1) 0.002% of total volume or 110 gallons (such as two 55-gallon drums) or 200 pounds of materials containing hazardous substances, whichever is greater, or (2) 0.02% of total volume, where a contributor sent only Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).
