Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response (“RACER”) Trust Mayors’ Automotive Coalition Webinar (June 13, 2011)

Creation of the Trust  Key dates: June 2009 – GM bankruptcy. October 2010 – Settlement Agreement (U.S. Government, 14 States, St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, and “old GM”) March 31, 2011 – Trust Effective.  Close to $500M for cleanup: ( $431M in separate “buckets” for all 60 sites with “knowns;” $68M “Cushion” for unexpected overruns and for any contamination found at the other 29 sites).  Roughly $220M (in funds and Property) for holding costs, redevelopment, and administrative.

Dual Mission: remediation and redevelopment Requires input of affected communities Mission

Settlement Agreement ¶ 65 In contemplating sales, Trustee shall consider – (i) whether the monetary value of the purchase price is sufficient in light of the projected budget for the sale of that Property, taking into account any surplus from past Properties sold or projected shortfall on the sale of the remaining Properties; – (ii) the potential for the reuse to create jobs in the State, and the affected community; – (iii) other benefits to the State, the Tribe, if applicable, and affected communities (such as increasing tax revenue, reducing blight, and providing a sense of renewal); – (iv) avoiding a material increase in the cost of or interference with the Environmental Action; – (v) the views of the State, the Tribe, if applicable, and affected communities; and – (vi) the reputation and credibility of the prospective purchaser.
