DSCC Intentionally Discharged Dioxin, DDT and Other Hazardous Substances from the Lister Plant into the Passaic River. .........................................3 B. OCC Is DSCC’s Direct Successor by Merger. ........................................................8 APPLICABLE LEGAL STANDARD ..........................................................................................10 ARGUMENT .................................................................................................................................11 POINT I DSCC IS STRICTLY, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE UNDER THE SPILL ACT FOR ALL CLEANUP AND REMOVAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS DISCHARGES OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES INTO THE PASSAIC RIVER. ..........11 A. The Passaic River Is a Waterway of the State of New Jersey. ..............................12 B. DSCC and OCC Are “Persons” Within the Meaning of the Spill Act. .................12 C. DSCC “Discharged Hazardous Substances” into the Passaic River. .....................13 1. As a matter of policy, intent and design, DSCC “discharged” its waste chemical effluent into the Passaic River during the entire period of its plant operations. .....................................................................13 2. DSCC’s wastes and chemical effluent include “hazardous substances” as that term is defined under the Spill Act. ............................16 D. DSCC Is Liable for All Past and Future Cleanup and Removal Costs Associated With Its Discharges. ............................................................................17 POINT II OCC IS STRICTLY, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE FOR ALL CLEANUP AND REMOVAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH DSCC’S DISCHARGES OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES INTO THE PASSAIC RIVER. ...........................................18 A. As the Merged Entity, OCC Is Strictly, Jointly and Severally Liable for DSCC’s Discharges to the Passaic River. ..............................................................19 B. OCC’s Recent Theory that Lister Plant Liabilities Were “Transferred” Out of DSCC Before Its Purchase Is Without Merit.....................................................23 1. As a matter of law, OCC/DSCC cannot absolve itself of liability to Plaintiffs by transferring that liability to a subsidiary. ..............................24 -i- 2. Even if it was possible for OCC/DSCC to absolve itself of liability to Plaintiffs by transferring that liability to a subsidiary, the purported transfer at issue failed to do so. .................................................26 POINT III OCC AND MAXUS ARE ESTOPPED FROM DENYING THE FACT OF DSCC’S INTENTIONAL DISCHARGES OF DIOXIN, DDT AND OTHER HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES INTO THE PASSAIC RIVER. .................................................27 A. Plaintiffs Can Establish All of the Elements for Collateral Estoppel Under New Jersey Law. ....................................................................................................29 1. The issue to be precluded is identical to the issue decided in the Aetna Trial. ................................................................................................29 2. The issue of whether DSCC intentionally discharged dioxin and other hazardous substances into the Passaic River was actually litigated in the Aetna Trial. ........................................................................30 3. The Superior Court in the Aetna Trial issued a final judgment on the merits. ...................................................................................................32 4. The determination that DSCC intentionally discharged dioxin and other hazardous substances into the Passaic River was essential to the judgment...............................................................................................33 5. OCC, as DSCC, Was a Party in the Aetna Trial, and Maxus Was in “Privity” with DSCC..................................................................................35 B. None of the Restatement § 28 Exceptions to the Application of Collateral Estoppel Apply Here. .............................................................................................37 C. The “Considerations” in Restatement (Second) of Judgments § 29 Are, Likewise, Inapplicable. ..........................................................................................39 CONCLUSION ..............................................................................................................................43 -ii- TABLE OF AUTHORITIES Cases American Standard, Inc. v.

The provisions of this Part A shall apply statewide to all sources of air pollutants except as otherwise provided herein. All sources of air pollutants that have previously obtained an emissions permit (prior to July 1, 1992) or a construction permit, and are subject only to the PartB Construction Permit Program, may choose to reapply for a new construction permit pursuant to PartB of this Regulation Number 3 in order to obtain the operational flexibility provided in Section IV. of this Part A, or to obtain federally enforceable limitations to limit the source's potential to emit ("synthetic minor"). Sources of air pollutants that are subject only to the Part B Construction Permit Program may voluntarily apply for an Operating Permit pursuant to Part C. Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-4-103 (12.5), materials incorporated by reference are available for public inspection during normal business hours, or copies may be obtained at a reasonable cost from the Technical Secretary of the Air Quality Control Commission (the Commission), 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver, Colorado 80246-1530.

BPA is a key monomer used to produce polycarbonate plastic. This type of plastic is usually clear and shatter-proof. Other uses of BPA consist of epoxy resins, which are used to coat the inside of food and beverage cans. BPA studies have been linked to obesity, neurological development delays in infants, thyroid disruption, developmental issues of sexual organs in infants, and sexual dysfunction in adults. Exposure to BPA occurs mostly through digestion of food and liquids that have been stored and heated in plastic materials. Endocrine disruptors weakly bind to estrogen receptors which can affect the endocrine, nervous, and immune systems as well as block thyroid hormone action. Exposure to chemicals that are xeno-estrogens disrupt the proper function of the body's endocrine system. Children and babies in the womb are most susceptible to hormonal and neurological development issues from exposure.
