What The Settlement May Mean For You
October 14, 2004 is the Last Day to File Proof of Claims
 

The Court defined the class to include the following persons: "THOSE PERSONS WHO POSSESS AN INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA THAT HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED BY PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, OR CHEMICALS ASSOCIATED WITH PETROLEUM PRODUCTS THAT HAVE LEAKED, SPILLED, OR BEEN RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT EITHER FOR EQUIPMENT OWNED, OPERATED OR CONTROLLED BY EXXON, ITS AGENTS OR ITS PREDECESSORS, OR FOR SERVICE STATION OPERATIONS CONDUCTED BY EXXON, ITS AGENTS OR PREDECESSORS, OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF EXXON OR ITS PREDECESSORS. "

If you fit this definition and can establish that Exxon's service station operations have caused damages to your real property, you can file a claim against the settlement fund.  The Court has issued an order setting forth the procedure to be followed to file a claim against this fund.  That procedure and the claim form to be filed are available here:
