    Filed October 10, 2018

    Pursuant to federal statute, however, none of these findings may be โ€œadmitted as evidenceโ€ or โ€œusedโ€ in this civil action for damages. See 42 U.S.C. ยง 7412(r)(6)(G). Congress has explicitly articulated the intent behind the statuteโ€™s prohibition on the use of such information in civil proceedings, explaining that โ€œ[i]n conducting its investigations, [CSB] will need the fullest cooperation from facility owners . . . involved in an accidental release to determine the probable cause of the event,โ€ and that โ€œ[t]he likelihood that conclusions drawn from information provided to [CSB] will be used in a suit from [sic] damages will discourage full cooperation.โ€
