ELR Citation: ELR 20666
No(s). S-85-01574-5 (Bankr. E.D.N.C. Oct 17, 1990)

The court approves a settlement agreement that resolves a Chapter 11 debtor's liability to the United States and North Carolina under the Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The agreement requires the debtor to pay $2 million to a trust that will be used to reimburse the governments for response costs at the debtor's two former pesticide distribution centers. The court holds that the decree is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the estate.
