Who will clean up the Starmet site?
In 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared the Starmet property a Superfund Site and determined that the Responsible Parties (PRPs) for the funding of the cleanup were Starmet, the US Army, the US Dept. of Energy, Whitaker Corporation, Textron Incorporated and Money Corp, who consented, Starmet excepted, to fund an investigation and cleanup design in the approximate amount of $8,000,000. The three non-governmental parties selected de maximis, inc. , Knoxville, TN, http://www.demaximis.com , to conduct the investigation and design work. After the cleanup design is approved, EPA will negotiate with the same PRPs to fund the work of the cleanup.
