Region III
6th , Walnut Streets
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Dear Mr. Bibko:
I am writing to confirm the State of Maryland's proposal to complete
hazardous waste removal activities at the Chemicals Metals Industries
Superfund Site (CMI) located in Baltimore.
We propose that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continue
its immediate removal activities at the site to include the following
emergency tasks:
Site 1

1) Removal ot drums remaining in the garage;

2) Construction of a sealing cap and/or remove remaining
contam1natec1soU;
Site 2
1) Removal ot remaining drums and debris;
2) Constructionot a sealing cap and/or remove remaining
contaminatec1 s01l, and;
3) Removal of 15 above groUnd storage tanks;
It is lilY understanding that EPA has estimated the total cost of
these activities to be $31,000. .

.f\R2uOOI5
Mr. Peter Bibko
November 14, 1981- ..
Page 2 of 2 Pages '.

If EPA agrees to complete these tasks, the State will be responsible

for the funding and implementation of all remaining tasks that need to be
completed at the site including site closure.
As we discussed with your staff during a meeting on November 6, 1981,.
we feel that this 15 the most expeditious and cost effective approach to
eliminating the hazardous waste problem at CHI.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please
rtonot hesitate to communicate with me at the above number.
Sincerely yours,

 SUPERFUND MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF
MARYLAND, DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT, AND
THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECI10N AGENCY
(
-
-THIS SUPERFUND MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is .made by and
between the State of Maryland, Department of the Environment {"State or MDE'j and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPNJ (collectively referred to as "Parties'Jpursuant
to Sections 300.415(1) and 300.505 of the National Oil and Hazardous SubstaDce Pollution
Contingency Plan ("NCP"), 40 C.F.R. Ii 300.415(1) and 300.50S.

WHEREAS, MOE understands that Superfund monies will be used to perform removal
activities at the Chemical Metals Industries Site located at 2100 Annapolis Road, Baltimore,
Maryland ("CMI or Site"), pursuant to Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation. and Liability Act of I980, as amended ("CERCLA'j, 42 U.S.C .
. ~ 9604, in response to a request from MDE for technical and financial assistance.

WHEREAS, MOE understands that post removal site control will be necessary to ensure the
continuing effectiveness and integrity of the Fund-financed removal action and that the State
commits to assume responsibility for post-removal site control activities at the eMI Site until
such time as ~ permanent remedy is implemented or until no further site control is needed.

WHEREAS; in 1981 EPA initiated a removal action at the CM! Site in response to a request
from MDE for technical and financial assistance. MOE discovered numerous chemicals in -
deteriorated and damaged tariks, containers and drums leaking their contents onto the ground at
the Site. In addition, CM! had highly acidic and highly basic materials incompatibly stored.
There were drums labeled cyanide adjacent to drwns containing acidic materia1s which if mixed
together can potentially release lethal hydrogen cyanide vapor which would have endangered the
health of the residents living adjac::entto CM!. MDE was fInancially unable to handle the
cleanup effort, and therefore, EPA initiated a Removal Action.

WHEREAS, the Removal Action involved the initial removal and disposal of all materials that
represented an imminent hazard. eMI was broken down into Site 1 and Site 2. Site 1 was the
storage area and Site 2 was the office, laboratory and manufacturing center for eMI which is the
current location of the MDE field office. Removal response actions at CMI ceased when all
materials of concern were removed from the two sites and the surface are~ capped, thereby
ending the immediate threat of explosion or fire. Site 1 was capped and sodded for use as a
playground, and Site 2 was paved with a 2.5 inch layer of asphalt for use asa parking lot; The
OSC decided not to perform ground water extraction and treatment because there were no
drinking water wells nearby. The State of Maryland retainedjurisdietion over monitoring the
ground water contamination and post removal site control.

AR2dOOl8
 site control at the CMf Site if this Site becomes listed on the National Priorities List ("NPL'').
The State abo acknowledges that there must be a Superfund Cooperative Agreement or
Superfund State Contract in place prior to claiming a credit for State expenditures associated
with these activities and assumes responsibility for initiating an appropriate response agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, this Memorandum of Agreement shall become effective upon the
signatures by all required officials of the State and upon the date of execution by the EPA,
Region ill, Regional Administrator. This Memorandum of Agreement may be amended as
mutually agreed upon by the parties as necessazy to ensure the effectiveness and integrity of the
EPA fund-financed removal action.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Memorandum of Agreement in
two (2) copies, each of which shall be deemed to be an original. .

 Chemical Metals - HSCD Briefing
• Big Question #1 - Is there justification for a
regulatory agency to take a response action at
the Site? .
_ Multiple Lines evidence indicate vapor intrusion is
occutring to residences.
_ Indoor air sampling indicates vapor intrusion is not
constant, but appears to be seasonal.
_ Heating season risk analysis for at least one
residence (2009 Annapolis Blvd.) exceeds generally
acceptable risk range, irrespective ofTCE toxicity.
 Chemical Metals - HSCD Briefing
• ID9 Question #2 - Should EPA perform additional
response actions at Chemical Metals?
- Fact #1. Letter from State .of Maryland to EPA, dated November
14, 1981, "If EPA agrees to complete these tasks, the State will .
be responsible' for the funding 'and implementation of all
remaining tasks that need to be completed at the site including
closure. " .
-- Fact #2. Memorandum of Agreement between State of Maryland
and EPA, dated November 24, 1998, "EPA and Maryland .
mutually agree that once the Fund-financed removal activities .
are completed bv EPA atthe Site, MOE will commence post-
removal site control activities ... MDE acknowledges that the
following post removal site control activities may be required ... 4)
assume responsibility for any and all future work necessary and
appropriate at the Site." .. . .
- .Fact #3. The State of Maryland is asking for assistance with
regard to vapor intrusion (homes), source control (Sinclair).

 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND

IN THE MATTER OF:

Docket No.
CHEMICAL METALS INDUSTRIES, INC.
SAL TIMORE, MARYLAND

DECLARATION OF CARL YN WINTER PRISK

I, Carlyn Winter Prisk, here declare as follows:

1. I am currently employed by the Environmental Protection Agency

("EPA") in the Region III office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as a Civil

Investigator. I have been a Civil Investigator for EPA Region III since October

1999. Between October 1999 and approximately June 2005, I worked in the

Hazardous Site Cleanup Division ("HSCDIJ), PRP Search and Site Information

Section (PRP is an acronym for potentially responsible party). During the

summer of 2005, EPA Region III underwent a reorganization and the PRP

Search and Site Information Section of HSCD was merged into the Cost

Recovery Branch of HSCD. From approximately June 2005 until the present I

have served as an investigator with the Cost Recovery Branch.

2. Prior to my employment as a Civil Investigator, from October 1998

to October 1999, I was employed by the EPA Region III Office of Regional

Counsel, as a Paralegal Specialist in the Superfund Site Remediation Branch 3.

Between December 1996 and October 1998, I was employed as a Claims

Examiner with the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, U.S. Department

of Labor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

3. I received a Master of Science Degree in Criminal Justice in

January 1997 from Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 4. As a Civil Investigator, I am responsible for identifying and locating

responsible parties as described in Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended

("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. ~ 9607(a). I also conduct research on, and gather

evidence concerning, potentially responsible parties and provide technical

support to the Office of Regional Counsel.

-5. I was assigned as the Civil Investigator for the Chemical Metals

Industries Site ("Site") on or about November 30, 2006, and currently serve as

the Civil Investigator for this Site. The Site consists of two distinct parcels which

are located at 2001 and 2103 Annapolis Road in Baltimore, Maryland.

6. I relied upon information obtained by EPA Region III from the

following sources in an effort to determine and locate the current owner of the

Property:

a. Maryland Department of Assessment and Taxation;

b. MDLandRec.net

c Autotrack XP;

d Lexis/Nexis public records databases;

e. Maps.live.com;

f. Google Earth;

g. Maryland Judiciary Case Search,

htlp://casesearch .courts.state.md. us

h. Maryland State Archives;

i. Telephone interviews of private citizens Richard Kind and

Leigh Hastings;
 j. Documents already part of the EPA site file for the Chemical
Metals Industries Site.

7. On or about December 19, 2008, I spoke with attorney, Richard

Kind, who had been an associate at a firm that represented several creditors

who initiated a proceeding against Chemical Metals Industries, Inc., ("CMI") in

the Circuit Court for Baltimore City (Civil Division) for Assignment forthe Benefit

of Creditors in or about 1980 or 1981. CMI.was dissolved by order of the Court

on August 28, 1981, and the firm where Mr. Kind had been an associate,

Weinberger and Weinstock (now known as "Weinstock, Friedman & Friedman;

PA) was appointed by the court as the receiver for ~MI. However, neither the

Circuit Court nor the Maryland Archives, to which I was referred by the Circuit

Court (Civil Division), has been able to locate any records associated with this

case. I personally reviewed the files at the Archives on January 21,2009.

According to Mr. Kind, he learned that there were hazardous substances present

on the Property and Parcel 2, and signed a single deed turning the property over

to either the City of Baltimore or the State of Maryland.

8. A deed dated January 27, 1982 conveyed property including 2103

Annapolis Road (Parcel 2) from CMI to the State of Maryland (Attachment A);

however, the Property (2001 Annapolis Road) was conveyed to CMI in 1975

(Attachment B), but never conv~yed by CMI to ,any other party thereafter.

Furthermore, according to the Baltimore Tax Assessor's website, taxes for the

Property are still being billed to eMI, the listed owner.

3
 9. On July 24, 2008, I confirmed that the State's Department of

Assessment and Taxation lists CMI as the owner of the Property. In addition, on

or about February 12, 2009, I confirmed that CMI forfeited its corporate charter in

Maryland as of October 7,1981, according to the Maryland Department of

Assessments and Taxation.

10. My review of documents related to the previous actions at the Site

provided me with the following information regarding the ownership of CM!. CMI

was owned until late 1979 by Isaac Pancer. After his death, his wife, on behalf

of the estate, sold the stock. L&M Associates, Inc. ("L&M") became the sole

stockholder of CMI in March 1980. Warren Stein was the president of CMI as

well as the president of L&M, and a 50% stockholder of L&M as of March 1,

1980. Mr. Stein sold stock and was down to a 40% ownership of L&M by May

20, 1980. Lester Feit was the vice president and a 50% stockholder of L&M.

Jeanne Mandel became a 10% stockholder of L&M.

11. My research on July 28, 2008 in both the Maryland Department of

Assessments and Taxation database and the Secretaries of State databases

accessible through Lexis indicated that L&M Associates, Inc. is a fairly common

name. According to the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation the

Maryland corporation with that name forfeited its charter and no longer exists.

12. I conducted a search for the former officers and directors of CMI

using the Faces of the Nation database through AutotrackXP. The Faces of the

Nation database provides access to over 17 billion records compiled from

hundreds of different sources, including three credit reporting agencies, which

4
 can.be used to locate and identify individuals. Autotrack XP reported a Lester

Feit, age 90, with an address in Baltimore, Maryland, and a Warren M. Stein,

age 53, with an address in Harwood, Maryland. My research indicated that

Jeanne Mandel died il) 2001. Her husband resides in Annapolis, Maryland.

provided the contact information for Mr. Stein and Mr. Feit to EPA On-Scene

Coordinator, Greg Ham, on or about July 25, 2008. Mr. Ham attempted to

contact these individuals to obtain access.

13. On or about August 26, 2008, I placed a call to Melvyn Weinstock,

whose firm was the court-appointed receiver for CM!. Since I did not hear back

from Mr. Weinstock, I placed several calls to the firm between August and

December of 2008. On December 19, 2008, Leigh Hastings, secretary to Melvin

Weinstock, left a voicemail reply stating that she had spoken with Mr. Weinstock

and that he had no knowledge of the matter and did not recall being a receiver

for the property or company. In addition, Ms. Hastings stated that she had

researched the matter herself and could not find any information in the firm's

files.

I, Carlyn Winter Prisk, declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing

is true and correct pursuant to 28 U.S.C ..~ 1746.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND

IN THE MATTER OF:

Docket No.
CHEMICAL METALS INDUSTRIES, INC.
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES'

APPLICATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT .

. In/support ofits Application for Administrative Warrant, the United States states as follows:

1. The United States Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. 999601-9675, in

response to widespread concern over the severe environmental and public health effects arising

from the improper disposal of hazardous wastes and other hazardous substances. See generally

Eagle Picher Industries v. EPA, 759 F. 2d 922, 925-26 (D.C. Cir. 1985). CERCLA provides the
1
United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), through de!egations of authority,

broad powers to investigate and clean up hazardous waste sites ..

2. Section 104(a)(l) ofCERCLA,42 U.S.C. 9 9604(a)(I), provides in relevant part

as follows:

Whenever (A) any hazardous substance is released or th~re is a

substantial threat of such a release into the environment ... [EPA]
is authorized to act, consistent with the national contingency plan,
to remove or arrange for the removal of, and provide for remedial
action relating to such hazardous substance .... at any time
(including its removal from any contam~nated natural resource), or
take any other response measure consistent with the national

The President of the United States has delegated most of the authority for administering
1

CERCLA to the Administrator of EPA. See Exec. Order No. 12,418,48 Fed. Reg. 20,891 (May 5,
1983); Exec. Order No. 12,580,52 Fed. Reg. 2,923 (January 29, 1987).
 2

contingency plan which [EPA] deems necessary to protect the

public health or welfare or the environment. .

42 U.S.C. ~ 9604(a)(1).2

2 "Hazardous substances" are broadly' defined in section 10i(14) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ~

9601(14), and include all substances identified at 40 C.F.R. ~ 302.4.

A "release" is defined at section 101(22}ofCERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ~ 9601(22), to include, with

certain exceptions not relevant here, "any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying,
discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.'"

The National Contingency Plan, 40 C.F.R. Part 300 ("NCP"), was originally developed under
section 311(c)(2) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. ~ 1321(c)(2), to guide federal agencies in
removing oil or hazardous subs~ances from the waters of the United States. Congress directed EPA,
through section 105 ofCERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ~ 9605, to revise and republish the NCP to "reflect and
effectuate the responsibilities and powers created by (CERCLA)." The NCP now sets .forth
.procedures and requirements for responding to hazardous waste sites.

"Removal" is defined in section 101(23) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ~ 9601(23), to mean "the

 3

3. Section l04(e) ofCERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ~ 9604(e), provides EPA with broad

access authority in order to effectuate the purposes of CERCLA. This provision states in relevant

part:

(l) ACTION AUTHORIZED -- Any officer, employee, or

representative of the President, duly designated by the President, is
authorized to take action under paragraph (2), (3), or (4) (or any
combination thereof) at a vessel, facility, establishment, place, .
property or location or, in the case of paragraph (3) or (4), at any
vessel, facility, establishment, place, property, or location which is
adjacent to the vessel, facility, establishment, place, property, or
location referred to in such paragrapJ:l (3) or (4) ... The authority
of paragraphs (3Yand (4) may be exercised only if there is a
reasonable basis to believe there may be a release or threat of
release of a hazardous substance or pollutant or contaminant. The
authority of this subsection may be exercised only for the purposes
of determining the need for response, or choosing or taking any
response action under this title, or otherwise enforcing the

cleanup or removal of released hazardous substances from the environment, such actions as may be
necessary [sic] taken in the event of a threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment,
such actions as may be necessary to monitor, assess, and evaluate the release of threat of release of
hazardous substances, the disposal of removed material, or the taking of such other actions as may be
necessary to prevent, minimize, or mitigate damages to the public health or welfare or to the
environment, which may otherwise result from a release or threat of release."
 4

provisions of this title.

(3) ENTRY -- Any officer, employee, or representative described

in paragraph (l) is authorized to enter at reasona~le times any of.
the following:

(A) Any vessel, facility, establishment, or other place or property

where any hazardous substance or pollutant or contaminant may be
or has been generated, stored, treated, disposed of, or transported
from.

(B) Any vessel, facility, establishment, or other place or property

from which or to which a hazardous substance or pollutant or
contaminant has been or may have been released.

(C) Any vessel, facility, establishment, or other place or property

where such release is or may be threatened.

(D) Any vessel, facility, establishment, or other place or property

where entry is needed to deterinine the need for response or the
appropriate response or to effectuate a response action under this
title.

(4) INSPECTION AND SAMPLES --

(A) AUTHORITY -- Any officer, employee, or representative

described in paragraph (1) is authorized to inspect and obtain
samples from any vessel, facility, establishment, or other place or
property referred to in paragraph (3) or from any location of any
suspected hazardous substance or pollutant or contaminant. Any
such officer, employee,.or representative is authorized to inspect
and obtain samples of any containers or labeling for suspected
hazardous substances or pollutants or contaminants. Each such
inspection shall be completed with reasonable promptness.

42 U.S.C. ~ 9604(e).

4. The Chemical Metals Industries Site ("Site") consists of two distinct parcels
. .

which are located at 2001 and 2103 Annapolis Road in Baltimore, Maryland. The property at
 5

2001 Annapolis Road (lithe Property ") was used by Chemical Metals Industries, Inc., alkJa

Chemicals-Metals Industries, Inc., ("CMI") for the storage of miscellaneous solids, large

quantities of scrap metal, acids~ caustics, and neutral waste liquids, and .was a former Sinclair gas

station. The property at 2103 Annapolis Road ("ParceI2") was used.by CMI as an office,

. laboratory and manufacturing center. CMI manufactured' copper compounds and recovered

precious metals. Parcel 2 is currently owned by the Maryland Department of the Environment

("MDE"), which has a field office building on the Parcel. See Declaration of Gregory D. Ham

("Ham"), at 4(1 6 (Attachment 1). The Property is identified in a March 20, 1975 deed by and

between M.C.S. Corporation and Chemicals-Metals Industries, Inc. (CMI), which is recorded in

the Land Records of Baltimore City, Liber R.H.B. 3216, Page 605. (See Attachment B to

Attachment 1).

5. MDE discovered numerous chemicals in deteriorated and damaged tanks,

containers aild drums leaking their contents onto the ground at the Site, including both the

Property and Parcel 2. In addition, CMI had highly acidic and basic materials incompatibly

stored. There were drums labeled "cyanide" adjacenttodrums containing acidic materials which;

if mixed together, can potentially release lethal hydrogen cyanide vapor which
, could have

eridangeredthe health of the residents living adjacent to CMI. Ham, at 4(1 8.

6. Upon the request for assistance by MDE, EPA initiated a removal action at the

Site on October 16, 1981, to remove and dispose of all materials that presented an imminent

hazard. At the Property, in addition to removing the abandoned gas station buildings, tanks,

containers and drums containing chemicals, EP A removed contaminated surface soils, backfilled
 6

with clean soil and -installed a soil cap and sodded for use as a playground. At Parcel 2, EPA

removed containers, drums and some contaminated soil and capped the remaining contaminated

soil with a 2.5 inch layer of asphalt for use as a parking lot. Ham, at IfI 9.

7. In 1998, EPA inspected-Parcel 2 and found that the asphalt cap was deteriorating

and cracking, threatening the integrity of the earlier containment effort. Air sampling showed

that contaminants had been released .into the MDE office building threatening the health of the

people working there. EPA initiated a second removal action at Parcel 2 on September 30, 1998,

during which it excavated contaminated soils, backfilled with stone, and then paved over the

stone with asphalt. Ham, at IfI 10.

8. In 2005, MDE sampled groundwater monitoring wells located on the Property and

Parcel 2 which showed elevated levels of trichloroethylene ("TCE") and tetrachloroethylene

("PCE") well above the ground water screening levels for these contaminants of 5.3 parts per

billion ("ppb") and 110 ppb, respectively, in EPA's 2002 Vapor Intrusion Guidance. (See

Excerpt from Table 2a from Guidance, Attachment D to Ham.) Analysis of samples taken from

monitoring wells on the Property detected TCE at 1,393 and 82 ppb, and PCE at 1,788 and 455

ppb. (Analysis of samples taken from monitoring wells on Patcel2 detected TCE at 13,931 and

366 ppb, and PCE at 3,650 and 496 ppb.) (See Attachn1ent C to Ham). In 2006, MDE installed

a vapor intrusion mitigation system in its building on Parcel 2 to address the ongoing vapor

intrusion problem. In the summer of 2007 and the winter of 2008, MDE performed vapor

monitoring in the subslab soil, the basement, and the indoor air (first floor) in 4 properties along

Annapolis Road between the Property and Parcel 2. (See Attachment C to Ham). High levels of
 7

TCE and PCE were found at 2009 Annapolis Road, the parcel adjacent to.the Property, with TCE

3
at 20,000 micrograms per cubic meter ("Jlglm3'), and PCE at 350,000 Jlglm in the subslab soil

vapor inboth the summer and the whiter. Cancer risks in excess of EPA's acceptable risk range

(of one excess cancer in 10,000 individuals exposed to site contaminants to one excess cancer in

1,000,000 indivfduals exposed, or 1 x 10 -4 to 1 x 10 -6) were calculated for exposure to ~apor in

. the basement in the summer (2 x' 10 -4), and in the basement and first floor in the winter (S x 10-

4, and 3 x 10 -4, respectively) at 2009 Annapolis Road. (See Attachment C to Ham). (Similar

cancer risks were also calculated for the property nearest to Parcel 2, 2047 Annapolis Road, for

the winter only.) Ham, at ~~ 11, 12, 13, 14.

9. The MOE asked EPA for assistance with regard to vapor intrusion in the homes

and source control at the Property. EPA has determined that additional soil sampling at the

Property at 2001 Annapolis Road is necessary in order to determine if contamination in the soils

may still be contributing to vapor intrusion into the adjacent houses, especially 2009 Annapolis

Road. EPA plans to collect 1,0to 20 surface and subsurface samples at the Property either by

. hand or with a soil boring rig. Samples will be collected at the surface, and at twafoot depth

intervals below the surface to the depth at which groundwater is encountered. These samples

will be analyzed for volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, pesticides, and

polychlorinated biphenyls. Ham, at 1fI1S.

10. . In the course of seeking the identity of the person(s) with authority to permit EPA

to enter the Property, EPA learned that several creditors initiated a proceeding against CMI in

Maryland State Court for Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in or about 1980 or 1981, and

(
 8

that CMIwasdissolved by order of the Court on August 28, 1981." However, the Court has been

unable to lo~ate any records associated with this case .. In addition, EPA learned that ~e Court

appointed a receiver for CM! to liquidate CMI's assets for the benefit of its creditors; that when

the receiver learned that there were hazardous substances present on the Property and Parcel 2,

the receiver recalls signing a single deed tinning the property over to the State of Maryland; that

a deed dated January 27, 1982 conveyed property including 2103 Annapolis Road (Parcel 2)

from CMI to the State of Maryland (See Attachment A to Attachment 2); and that the Property

(2001 Annapolis Road) was conveyed to CMI in 1975, but never conveyed by CMI to any other

party thereafter. Furthermore, according to the Baltimore Tax Assessor's website, taxes for the

Property are still being billed to CMI, the listed owner. See Declaration ofCarlyn Winter Prisk

("Prisk"), at ~~ 7, 8 (Attachment 2).

11. EPA further learned that CMI was owned until late 1979 by Isaac Pancer; that,

after his death, his wife, on behalf of the estate, sold the stock; that L&M Associates, Inc.

("L&M") became the sole stockholder of CMI in March 1980; that Warren Stein was the

president of CMI as well as the president of L&M as of March 1, 1980; that Lester Feit was the

vice president ofL&M; that Jeanne Mandel was a stockholder ofL&M; that L&M Associates,

Inc., a Maryland Corporation, which owned the stock of CMI, forfeited its charter and no longer

exists; that CMI's corporate charter was forfeited as of October 7, 1981; that a Lester Feit resides

in Baltimore, Maryland; that this Mr. Feit is 90 years old; that a Warren M. Stein resides in

Harwood, Maryland; that this Mr. Stein is 53 years old; that a Jeanne Mandel died in 2001; and

that Ms. Mandel's husband resides in Annapolis, Maryland. Prisk, at ~~ 9, 10, 11, 12.
 9

12. Under Maryland law, Mr. Stein is a director of both CMI and L&M who may have

the power to act on behalf of CMI and L&M. The Maryland Code defines "director" as "a

member of the governing body ofa corporation, whether designated as a director, trustee, or

manager or by any other title." Md. Code Ann. CORPORA nONS AND ASSOCIA nONS at ~

1-'101(k) (Michie 2008). A director ofa Maryland corporation whose charter has been forfeited

becomes a trustee oftbe corporate assets until a court appoints a receiver. Id. at ~ 3-SIS(a).

Such a director-trustee has the power to perform "all other acts consistent with'law and the

charter ofthe corporation necessary or proper to liquidate

. the corporation and wind up its .

affairs." Id. at ~ 3-5 I 5(c)(4). Here, Mr. Stein acted as the president ofCMI and ofL&M, which

owned all of the stock in CMI, and CMI and L&M both forfeited their corporate charters. Prisk,

at ,-r~9, 10, II. As a result, Mr. Stein isa director of both CMI and L&M who may have the

power to act on behalf of CMI in winding up the corporation's affairs.

13. On August 8, 2008, EPA On Scene Coordinator Greg Ham spoke with Warren

,Stein. Mr. Stein stated that he was either president or vice president of CMI, that he owned 40%

of the company and Lester Feit owned 40%, and that Jeanne Mandel owned 20%. Mr. Stein said

that he did not know whether Mr. Feit was still alive. Mr. Ham explained that, according to the

Maryland Real Property Database, CMI still owns ,the Property. Mr. Stein stated that he was

unaware that eM! still owned the Property. Mr. Ham explained that EPA wanted to do some

subsurface soil sampling on the Property. At this time, Mr. Stein stated that it was alright with

him. Mr. Ham said he would confirm that in a letter to Mr. Stein, and that he would let him

know how and when EPA was planning to proceed. Ham, at ~ 18.
 10

14. On August 8,2008, Mr. Ham sent Mr. Stein a letter confirming their conversation

regarding access and enclosing an access agreement for his signature. On the same date, Mr.

Ham called Lester Feit and left a message; however, he did not ever heard back from Mr. Feit.

Mr. Ham received a copy ofa handwritten letter in reply from Mr. Stein, dated August 13,2008,

in which he stated that he did not give his permission for anything except for Mr. Ham to

research and prove Mr. Stein',s ownership of the Property and responsibility in this matter. Ham,

at ~~ 19,20,21.

15. On September 5, 2008, Mr. Ham sent Mr. Stein printouts from the Maryland Real

Property Database indicating that CMI is"the owner of the Property. Mr. Ham has not heard back

from Mr. Stein. Ham, at ~ 22.

16. Alternatively, the receiver appointed by the Court to liquidate the corporate assets

of CMlmay have the power to act on behalf of CMI. Under Maryland law, "[t]he receiver of a

Maryland corporation being voluntarily or involuntarily dissolved is vested with full title to all

the assets of the corporation and has full power to enforce obligations or liabilities in its favor.

" He shall liquidate the assets of the corporation and wind up its affairs under the supervision of

the court and has all powers necessary for that purpose." Md."Code Ann. CORPORATIONS

AND ASSOCIATIONS at ~ 3-418(a). The EPA Civil Investigator placed several calls between

August and December 2008 to the firm of Weinstock, Friedman and Friedman, PA located in

Baltimore, Maryland, which was the receiver appointed by the Court for CMI. On December 19,

2008, the secretary to Melvin Weinstock left a voicemail reply stating that she had spoken with

Mr. Weinstock and tha,t he had no knowledge of the matter and did not rec~ll being a receiver for
 11

the property or company. In addition, his secretary stated th~t she had researched the matter

herself arid could not find any information in their files. Prisk, at ~ 13. Hence, while the receiver

may retain the authority to act on behalf of the dissolved. corporation, the Court-appointed

receiver iIi this case has no recollection or information regarding its involvement in this matter.

17. Pursuant to section 104(e)(I), (3), and (4) ofCERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9 9604(e)(l),.

(3), and (4), if there is a reasonable basis to believe there may be a release or threat. of release of a

hazardous substance or pollutant or .contaminant, EPA is authorized to enter, inspect, and take

samples at a site for the purposes of determining the need for response, or choosing or taking a

response, or otherwise enforcing the proviSions of CERCLA.EPA has a reasonable basis to

believe that there may be a release or threat of release of a hazardous substance or pollutant or

contaminant from the Property, based on groundwater sampling performed at the Property in

2005, which detected TCE as high as 1,393 ppb and PCE as high as 1,788 ppb, and vapor

monitoring performed at the adjacent properties in the summer of2007 and the winter of2008,

which detected soil vapor concentrations of TCE at 20,000 flglm3 and PCE at 350,000 flglm3,

causing cancer risks in the basement in the summer (2 x 10 "\ and in the basement and first floor

in the winter (5 x 10"4, and 3 x 10 :-'\~espectively) at 2009 Annapolis Road, adjacent to the

Property, in excess of EPA acceptable risk levels. (See Paragraph 8, above).

18. A federal agency is authorized to apply for a warrant if Congress has granted the

Agency statutory entry authority. Bunker Hill Co. v. United States, 658 F. 2d 1280, 1285 (9th

Cir.1981). Warrants may be obtained on an ex parte basis. Bunker Hill, at 1285. A lesser

showing on probable cause is required for an administrative search than for a criminal search.
 12

The U.S. Supreme Court has noted that:

[p]robable cause in the criminal senseis not required. For

purposes of an administrative search ... probable cause justifying
the issuance of a warrant may be based not only on specific
evidence of an existing violation but also on a showing that
'reasonable legislative or administrative standards for conducting
an ... inspection are satisfied with respect to a particular
[establishment].' .

Marshall v. Barlow's, Inc., 436 U.S. 307,320-21 (1978) (quoting Camara v. Municipal Court,

387 U.S. 523, 538 (1967)). EPA's statutory authority to enter, inspec~, obtain samples, and
. .

perform removal activities is clear. See 42 U.S.C: S 9604(a) and (e). In the present case, EPA

seeks a warrant to implement and enforce the provisions of CERCLA, i.e., to perform response

actions (inspections and sampling) in response to a release or threat of release of hazardous

substances into the environment from the Property. The standards for performing such response.

actions are contained within the NCP,40 C.F.R. Part 300.

19. The United States therefore seeks an Administrative Warrant for entry, inspection,

and sampling activities at the Property as described in Paragraph 9, above;
