Quizplus · Accepted Answer

United Disposal, Ace Trucking Company, and General Manufacturing Corporation all played a role in the transportation and disposal of the hazardous waste. Investment Properties, Inc. now owns the site and therefore bears responsibility for any environmental cleanup costs associated with the site. Therefore, the EPA can recover the cost of cleanup from any or all of these four entities: United, General, Ace, or Investment Properties.
