Settlement of City's Liability and Attorney Fee Exposure at the
Mountaineer Refinery Superfund Site
.Recommendation:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Settlement
Agreement regarding the Mountaineer Refinery Superfund Site. The Settlement
Agreement will end the City's liability exposure and attorneys' fee expense in connection
with the Superfund site. The total settlement amount of $10,875 is based on a settlement
figure of $7.50 per gallon. The City contributed 1450 gallons of waste oil to the site. After
deducting for amounts previously paid to participate in the Mountaineer Refinery PRP
Committee, the amount that will be due from the City is $6,425.
Discussion'
Some years ago, waste oil from City operations was deposited at a used oil refinery
site .in Wyoming. in 1990 the United States Environmental Protection Agency '("EPA")
ordered the owner/operator to cease operations, and the site was identified as a cleanup
site pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (sometimes known as the "Superfund law"). Under the Supeffund law every party that
contributed'to a Superfund site is a "potentially responsible party" (PRP). The PRPs
formed a committee and entered into an agreement with EPA to cleanup the waste
deposits at the site.
In an effort to settle the liability of the PRPs, the PRP Committee is proposing a
Settlement Agreement based on $7.50 per gallon. The enclosed memo from the firm of
Stoel, Rives, Boley, Jones & Grey describes the highlights of the Settlement Agreement.
They are as follows:

1. Tustin will receive a credit of the administrative fee and prior assessments
paid to the Committee. This amount is approximately $4,450.
2. In the event that cleanup costs at the site exceed the estimates provided to
the Committee, neither EPA nor the Committee will be able to come back after the City of
Tustin. There is no reopener clause.
3. Tustin will be fully indemnified by the other Committee members and released
from any future liability.
The proposed Settlement Agreement, known as "Settlement Agreement V" is
attached for the City Council's information.

C. M~tual R~lcal;¢~ i~n~/Cowrt~nts Not to Sue.
In exchange for the $7.50 per gallon payment, settling Committee members will
receive from the Committee a full release and covenant not to sue with respect to any
alleged liability or cost related to the Site. Similarly, settling Committee members would
release the Committee and its members from any rlairrted hability and would covenant

Committee.
D. Indemnification.
Settlement Agreement V provides that settling Committee members will be
indemnified by the Committee for their obligations, liabilities and costs arising out of the
AdminL~ative Order On Consent for Removal Action, EPA, Docket No. CERCLA VIZI-92-
27. No other indemnification is offered as part of this settlement.
Eligibility. All Committee members are elig~le for Settlement V. Any
Committee member who is interested in Settlement Agreement V, however, must have a
resolved volume allocation. Those Committee members currently involved in a volume
dispute must wait until the dispute is resolved before entering into Settlement
Agreement V.
How to Settle. Settlement Agreement V is enclosed with this letter. Elig~le
Committee members may continue to avail themselves of options previously offered by
the Committee (i.e.. Settlement Agreement I for $15/gallon or Settlement Agreement
for $30/gallon).
E. "Settlement Bound Member" Status.
In addition, the Committee voted to reheve settling Committee members of
their Settlement Bound Member status (as defined in Paragraph 9.l(a) of the GPA) and,
accordiz~y, their continuh~ obligations to indemnify parties who previously settled with
the Committee. This charge requires an amendment to the GPA. Therefore, enclosed
are redlined and ori~rtal versions (without exlu2yits) of the revised GPA. Pursuant to
Paragraph 20 of the GPA, the amendment to the GPA becomes effective thirty (30) days
after written notice of the amendment. Plea.se review the obligations and requirements
imposed by Paragraph 20 of the GPA, especially if you do not plan to enter into.one of
the Settlement Agreements.

Re: Mountm'neer Refinery Site- Settlement Offer
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to provide an opportunity for all Committee
members to settle their respective liability at the Mountaineer Refinery site (the 'Site').
As you are aware, several months ago we dism2mted ballots to all Committee
members to resolve several issues relating to a $7.50 per gallon settlement offer, including
indemnification of settling'Committee members and a refund of the $2,000 administrative
fee. Based on the Committee's vote, enclosed please find copies of Settlement
Agreement V and revised Group Participation Agreement ('GPA'), incorporating the
decisions made by the Committee members' vote.
Settlement Proposal. The Committee is offering to all of its current members
who have resolved their volume disputes a settlement proposal similar to the offer
available to non-Committee members. The terms of the settlement offer are set forth at
length in the enclosed Settlement Agreement V (Cash-Out Without Reopener). The key
terms of the settlement offer are as follows:
A. PiLvment.
Settlement Agreement V provides that settling Committee members pay to the
Committee a lump stm't payment composed of $7.50 per gallon of waste material sent to
the Site. The settling Committee members would receive a credit fi.om the $2,000
administrative fee paid upon joining the Committee and for the amount of past
assessments. This credit would be apphed toward the settling Committee member's
lump mum settlement payment. On the event the administrative fee and past assessment
amounts exceed the himp sum settlement payment, the Committee will not refund the
excess amount.) The hunp sum payment is due and payable 45 days after the Effective
Date of the Settlement Agreement.
B. No Reopener.
Settlement Agreement V provides for no reopener in the event cleanup costs at
the Site exceed the estimates provided to the Committee. This settlement option would

Settlement Agreement V
MOUNTAINEER REFINERY SITE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS' PRIVATE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
(CASH-OUT WITHOUT REOPENER)
This Private Settlement Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the Effective Date indicated On the execution page of this
Agreement, by and between the Mountaineer Refinery PRP Committee (the
"Committee") and the party whose name is set forth as the Settling Party on the
execution page of this Agreement (the ''Settling Party").
BACKGROUND
A. The Mountaineer Refinery is located on La Barge Creek Road, one mile
west of U.S. Route 189, approximately two miles southwest of La Barge in
Lincoln County, Wyoming (the "Site"). Since about 1967, the Site has been
operated as an oil refinery and used oil re-refinery by Mountaineer Refining
Company. In 1990, EPA ordered the owner/operator to cease operations at the
Site. The Committee was formed for the purpose of negotiating with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (''EPA'') and the Wyoming Department of
Environmental Quality (~DEQ'') in response to action taken by EPA regarding the
Site pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act, as amended (#CERCLA~). Specifically, the members of the
Committee entered into an Administrative Order on Consent, Docket No.
CERCLA VIII-92-27 (September.29, 1992) (the "Removal Order"), requiring them to
conduct a removal action at the Site. The work required under the Removal
Order currently is underway. The Committee estimates that the cost to complete
the work required by the Removal Order and to reimburse EPA for its response
costs could be as much as $7.5 million (~Estimated Removal Costs"). To date, the
Committee has incurred costs in excess of $2.9 million.
B. EPA may have sent Settling Party a request for information under
CERCLA, seeking information relating to, among other things, substances at the
Site generated and/or transported by Settling Party. If so, Settling Party has
provided a response to EPA's request for information. That response includes,
among other information, statements by Settling Party relating to the volume of
substances at the Site generated or transported by it.
C. In addition, the Committee may have discovered information regarding
Settling Party's volume and other involvement at the Site through documents
maintained by the owner/operator of the Site or through the testimony of former
employees of Mountaineer Refining Company.
SLC1-13157.1 22066 0002
D. The Committee contends that it has claims against Settling Party in the
nature of cost recovery, contribution, indemnification or otherwise, including but
not limited to claims under 42 U.S.C. § 9613(0, for response costs that have been
or will be incurred in the future by the Committee with respect to the Site.
Settling Party denies that it is liable to the Committee. The parties desire to
amicably resolve without litigation the actual and potential claims between them
arising with respect to the Site and, to do so, have resolved to enter into this
Agreement.
E. Bv entering into this Agreement, the Committee and Settling Party
agree to resolve all past, present and future liabi of Settling Party with ~respect
to the Site, except for any liability or costs (1) arising or resulting from non-
compliance with the terms of this Agreement; (2) arising or resulting from a
criminal act on the part of Settling Party; (3) incurred by Settling Party with
respect to the Site prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement; (4) incurred by
Settling Party in responding to a request for information by any governmental
agency or the Committee; or (5) arising or resulting from Settling Part)es failure to
comply with any court order, judgment or decree.

Volume is less than that indicated on the execution page by at least 10% (the full.
amount of such shortfall under such Settling Party's Volume being "Settling Party's
Volume Shortfall"), then the Conunittee shall pay to Settling Party, within 30 days
