Summary

This is an Administrative Penalty action issued to Reichhold, Inc. located in Azusa, CA for violations of EPCRA Section 313. The violations involved failure to file timely Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Forms for 10 chemicals including styrene, xylene and toluene during reporting years 2000-2002. Respondent self-disclosed the reporting omissions. The violations were broken out into two tiers to determine their eligibility for penalty reduction under the Self Audit policy. Violations related to reporting years 2000 and 2001 qualified for 100% penalty reduction to zero dollars due to the Respondent meeting all criteria necessary to warrant total reduction pursuant to the Self Audit Policy. Reporting year 2002 violations qualified for 75% reduction since violations were not discovered through a comprehensive audit or EMS; reduction resulted in a $28, 822 penalty which Respondent agreed to pay.
