many of the sites are also covered by multi-site consent
orders which also changes the dynamics

Holly:
Thee is a LinkedIn Group that specifically deals with MGP Remediation.
There are a number of experts in that group (MGP Remediation) that can
provide you with specific examples.
I used to work for a consulting firm that did quite a bit of litigation
support and expert witness testimony for state rate payer advocates. I
believe that most states and utilities (owners of a large number of sites)
arrived at settlements where the costs of remediation are shared by ratepayers
and shareholders. Because the costs of cleanup are settled, my hypothesis
is that there is less of a contentious relationship between property owners or
responsible parties and regulators. I would suggest that you look at
how each state has dealt with the cost issue.
Dr. Allen Hatheway has written a compendium on known MGP sites and
their status: "Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants &
Other Coal-Tar Sites" is now (2011) available for order from CRC Press/Taylor
& Francis Group.

Dear colleagues, I've been involved with the (ever unfolding)
plans for remediating a brownfield site (former coal manufacturing plant)
during the last few years, and I'm impressed by the intimacy of the
relationship between the state regulatory agency and the corporate property
owner. I'm interested in exploring how the particular relationships I
have been observing compare with those of other states. Can anyone
recommend literature on this question? I'd greatly appreciate any
suggestions for recent work on brownfield remediation, regulatory agencies,
and corporations. I'm happy to forward a list of suggestions along to
others, based on recommendations. Thanks, Holly
