Description

Plaintiff-appellant Kalamazoo River Study Group ("KRSG") is an unincorporated association of paper manufacturers seeking to recover costs incurred in the investigation and remediation of contamination by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Kalamazoo River. KRSG brought suit against eight corporate defendants, including defendants-appellees Menasha Corporation and Eaton Corporation, pursuant to the contribution provision of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Menasha and in favor of Eaton with regard to its Kalamazoo and Marshall facilities, and it ruled in favor of Eaton with regard to its Battle Creek facility after a bench trial. Because the district court applied an incorrect liability standard for CERCLA contribution actions, we REVERSE the judgments and REMAND for further proceedings.
