WMWI has been performing the remedial action for the Site under a unilateral administrative order issued by EPA. Under the consent decree, PO 00000 Frm 00106 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 WMWI will complete performance of the Site remedy and will reimburse the United States for response costs the United States will incur at the Site.

Systems, Inc., et al., No. 91–32791 (Bankr. N.D. Ind.). The U.E. Systems settlement required that amounts recovered therein ‘‘shall reduce the liability of the non-settling potentially responsible parties * * * by the amount of the credit.’’ The proposed consent decree with WMWI will implement that provision of the U.E. Systems settlement while also providing the United States with essentially full recovery of all response costs incurred or to be incurred by the United States in connection with the Site.
