On February 27, 2018, Region III entered into a Consent Agreement with, and issued a Final Order to Mount Joy Wire Corporation, settling violations of RCRA Subtitle C that EPA inspectors observed during an inspection of the company's facility in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania ( Facility ). The settlement will ensure that, in the future, the company will properly contain and manage hazardous waste at the Facility, and ship it offsite in a timely manner. The Facility manufactures carbon steel wire products at the Facility, and its customers include the automotive, off-road, construction, agricultural, fiber optic, aerospace, and electronic industries. Because the manufacturing process generates a variety of hazardous wastes, the Facility is required to comply with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the federally-authorized Pennsylvania Hazardous Waste Regulations. RCRA is designed to protect human health and the environment by providing for the safe management of such hazardous wastes. During the inspection, and through subsequent communications, the EPA Inspector observed that at the Facility the company: (1) operated a hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility without a permit or interim status; (2) failed to make a hazardous waste determination on used aerosol cans; (3) failed to send hazardous waste, in the form of used aerosol cans, offsite using a hazardous waste manifest; (4) failed to provide annual hazardous waste training to employees res
