Section 113(l) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9613(l), requires a private CERCLA plaintiff to serve a copy of the complaint upon the Attorney General and the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. What happens if the plaintiff fails to do so? A district court in Indianapolis considered that question last month in Graymor Properties v. Battery Properties, No. 1:23-cv-754 (S.D. Ind. May 20, 2026).
