On May 25, 2005, EPA issued a Notice of Determination (���NOD���) based on self-disclosures provided by DRS Laurel Technologies for violations of Section 313 of EPCRA at its facility located at 246 Airport Road, Johnstown, Pennsylvania 15904.
DRS disclosed by letter dated December 17, 2004 that it had failed to submit Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Forms (Form R) for lead for reporting years 2002 and 2003. The total gravity-based civil penalty for these EPCRA violations would be $35,142.00. However, because DRS satisfied all of the conditions of EPA���s Self-Disclosure Policy and the amount of economic benefit gained is insignificant, EPA waived the civil penalty for the disclosed violations.
