The guidance sets forth the Agency's new approach to completing de minimis settlements. The memorandum expands upon the information provided in the Superfund Administrative Improvements - Final Report (June 23, 1993). Under Section 122(g) of CERCLA the Agency may settle with persons who contributed to a facility hazardous substances which are minimal, both in terms of volume and toxicity or other hazardous effects, relative to other hazardous substances at a site. De minimis settlements may only address a minor amount of response costs at a site.
