Summary

This case seeks to improve public health and safety by decreasing the risk of releases of hazardous chemicals from a chemical manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania, a state that has not received delegation of the CAA Section 112(r) program. The Regional Judicial Officer issued a Final Order on June 6, 2018, accepting the Consent Agreement to commence and settle violations of CAA Section 112(r)(1) (the general duty clause ), in connection with Albemarle Corporation's plant located at 2858 Back Vail Road, Tyrone, Pennsylvania. EPA conducted an inspection of the facility on October 24, 2017, and determined that Albemarle failed to provide safety consistent with relevant industry codes pertaining to storage of extremely hazardous substances that are incompatible or water-reactive. Albemarle has corrected all of the identified conditions at the facility. In settlement, Emkey has agreed to pay a cash penalty of $3,838. State counterparts have been notified of this action.
