Non-Settlng Defendants Objectons Non-Settlng Defendants objectons are based on the unque way that settlenents are treated under the Spll Act. 15 Under the Spll Act credt scheme, non-s4tlng defendants receve a credt n the dollar amount of the settlement. 16 Howe~er, under the common law credt scheme, non-settlng defendants receve a 11 See JCO, Ex.

Non-Settlng Defendants would pay $210 m~llon - the entre $10 mllon for the Spll Act clams and $200 mllon for ther cojnbned share of the common law clams. But they would receve a settlem~nt credt of $23.25 mllon. n that scenaro, Non-Settlng Defendants would tjave no objecton because the $23.25 mllon settlement credt exceeds the $10 ml}on they would have to pay for the Spll Act clams. f, however, the hypothetcal s reversed, and the jury awards Plantffs ten mllon dollars for ther common law clams and three hundred mllon ~ollars for ther Spll Act clams, damages for the Spll Act clams would far out\tegh the settlement amount.

As a compromse, Non-Settlng Defendants have offered to wave 1 ther ob ectons to the JCO f Plantffs agree to ncorporate the common law scheme or all of ther clams. See Def. Mem. at 4-5.

See Specal Verde Form ("Specal Verdct Form"), State of New Hampshre v. Hess Corp., et al., , Ex. D to Kaufmann Deel. Because New Jersey has 3.25 tmes as many cpntamnated stes as New Hampshre, Plantffs argue that New Jerseys total dajmage estmate should be 3.25 tmes that of New Hampshres - or, about $2.65 ~llon.

Plantffs Calculaton of Ctgos Share of Lablty s Arbtrary, Caprcous, and Unreasonable Non-Settlng Defendants also contend that the $23.25 mllon settlentnt amount does not farly or reasonably account for Ctgos lablty. 78 Frst, trey assert that Plantffs lst of 128 stes assocated wth Ctgo s nconslstent and unrelable. 79 For example, the lst ncludes only one of the four Plant,f-selected stes assocated wth Ctgo. 80 As such, Plantffs assessed Ctgos lablt~ wthout consderng damages at the Skylne Servce Staton ste, the HP : Delta she, or the Fve-Ponts ste. Ths s especally problematc because Ctgos lablt~ at those three stes alone ranges from $16 mllon to $24.5 mllon 7 \ See Def. Mem. at : f See d. 8 ~ See MTBE Stes Afflated wth Ctgo, Ex.

20 Case 1:00-cv SAS-DCF Document 4015 Fled 06/11/14 Page 20 of 28 accordpg to Plantffs experts. 81 Therefore, Ctgos lablty at just those three stes co~ld potentally exceed the $23.25 mllon settlement amount. Second, BP contends that Plantffs used napproprate databases to generatf ther 128 ste lst. 82 Specfcally, they reled on an Envronmental Manag~ment System ("EMS") database, whch s desgned to allow "mappng" of release 1,stes, and summarze the stes regulatory status, "dscharge parameter," "progr~m nterest," and regulatory volatons. 83 The EMS database does not dentf)j hstorc supplers of gasolne to stes or lnk those supplers wth MTBE releasd. 84 Smlarly, Plantffs HazStes database merely stores sol and groundf ater laboratory test results. 85 t does not store nformaton that dentfes partes tesponsble for MTBE releases or dentfy the statons supplers. 86 BP argues ~hat relance on these databases caused defcences n Plantffs lst See Brown Rep. at 1; 11/8/12 Expert Report of Robert Unsworth, Ex.

They then "a~count[ ed] for such nformaton on a statewde bass [] n the absence of ste-sp~cfc dscovery on the 5,000+ other stes" by consderng Ctgos "market share" }or gasolne sold n New Jersey. 90 Plantffs argue that ths approach was a reason,ble alternatve to conductng ste-specfc dscovery at all 5,045 stes. 91 Next, Plantffs argue that Non-Settlng Defendants mproperly assume~ that Ctgo s one hundred percent lable at all 128 stes. 92 n fact, many of the ste~ are assocated wth both Ctgo and other defendants. 93 For example, 8~ See d. 8~ PL Reply Mem. at 11. 9~ d. 9) See d. 9t See d. at See d. -21-

22 Case 1:00-cv SAS-DCF Document 4015 Fled 06/11/14 Page 22 of 28 becausd BP and Ctgo both suppled MTBE at the Fve Ponts Ste, Plantffs suggestthat they should share lablty there. 94 Fnally, Plantffs contend that the settlement amount s also based on relevan~ factors, such as the relatvely small number of stes assocated wth Ctgo, Ctgos mnor market share n New Jersey, Ctgos wllngness to settle early, the lablty of remanng Defendants, ltgaton rsks, the certanty provded n settlem~nt, the tme value of money, the publc nterest n settlement, and Ctgos potent11 defenses. 95 As for ts potental defenses, Ctgo argues that unlke other Defend~ts, t dd not own, lease, or operate any servce staton n New Jersey. 96 nstead~ t merely suppled MTBE-contanng gasolne that was refned by others. 97 9~ See d. 9 ~ See Pl.

Plantffs reache~ths amount based on a 128 ste lst that s replete wth problems. Frst, the lst om~s three of the four Plantff-selected stes where Plantffs clam Ctgo s lable. 3ecause Ctgos lablty at these three stes alone could exceed $23.25 mllonj Plantffs have severely underestmated Ctgos lablty. Second, the lst was generated from databases ncapable of dentfyng hstorc supplers of MTBE specfg knowledge by relyng on Ctgo s reported market share of four percent. But as ~tgo admts, f ts share of lablty was four percent of the total damages, t would ~e lable for $88 mllon. 98 Plantffs nsst that they gave Ctgo a dscount because "other defend4nts n addton to Ctgo" were dentfed at some of the 128 stes. 99 But they fa~] to dentfy whch stes Ctgo suppled at the tme of the MTBE releases, 9 ~ See Ctgo Mem. at 6-7. BP also contends that Ctgo s market share s rrelevf.nt to ts lablty under the Spll Act. Under New Jersey law, such lablty must b based on a nexus to the ste-specfc dscharges at the 5,045 stes at ssue, not on arket share. See New Jersey Dept. of Envtl. Prat. v.

Plantffs also clam that they consdered the number of stes jassocated wth Ctgo, Ctgos market share, Ctgos wllngness to settle early, t~e lablty of remanng defendants, ltgaton rsks, the certanty provded n settltjment, the tme value of money, the publc nterest n settlement, and Ctgosj arguments regardng ts potental defenses. 100 Whle these are all reason11ble factors to consder, the Court cannot approve the settlement wthout frst evmuatng "the measure of comparatve fault on whch the settlement terms Wthout a reasonable measures of both total damages and Ctgos share, rl cannot determne whether the settlement s far and reasonable. are bas~d." 101 t.

The settlement n n r4 MTBE arose out of global settlement dscussons that ncluded approx~mately seventy percent of the named defendants. 105 Ths Court held that plant~fs dd not need to estmate each settlng defendants share of lablty, as long a~ the aggregate settlement amount reasonably represented "the settlng defend~nts estmated combned share of lablty." 106 Here, however, Ctgo s the only sf lng defendant, and Plantffs are requred to farly estmate Ctgo s share., d.
