This case addresses violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by Wasteland Performance ( Wasteland ). Wasteland imported 6 uncertified engines on July 16, 2010. Wasteland claimed that the engines were exempt from the requirement to be covered by an EPA approved certificate of conformity (COC). However, the engines met the requirements of neither the identical configuration exemption nor the partially completed engine exemption.
As part of the settlement with EPA, Wasteland paid a $1,200 civil penalty and exported the 6 uncertified engines to a country other than the United States, Canada or Mexico.
