Both Thomasville and Univar are liable for the United States’ response costs under Section 107(a)(3) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a)(3), because they, or their predecessors, arranged for disposal of CERCLA listed hazardous materials at the Site which led to a release of hazardous substances causing EPA to incur response costs.
