For the defendant in a recent cost recovery matter, Axlor Principal Gayle Koch provided expert testimony regarding the consistency of claimed past costs with the National Contingency Plan (“NCP”)

Based on a thorough review of all available invoices, Ms. Koch presented testimony on whether claimed past costs were response costs, whether they were necessary, whether they were adequately documented, and whether they were consistent with the NCP. As a result of this work, the Court found that over $10 million of claimed past costs were not recoverable.
