Defense Contractor Recovery of Cleanup Costs at Contractor Owned and Operated Facilitie

Abstract

This thesis discusses the Department of Defense's (DoD) obligation to reimburse defense contractors for environmental cleanup cost for 'releases' of hazardous substances occuring at contractor owned and operated (COCO) facilities or disposal sites for which the contractor is held responsible as a 'Potentially' Responsible Party'. Its primary focus is on recovery of cleanup cost under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) cost principle and on the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) 107 (a) (3), which allows contract reimbursement when the government arranged for the treatment or disposal of hazardous substances used in performing the government contract
