On June 4, 2018, Region 1 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) (Docket No: EPCRA-01-2018-0026) to resolve an enforcement action against Masters Machine Company Inc. (Masters Machine). The company was cited for failing to timely file Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) forms for copper for calendar years 2013, 2014, and 2015, and for lead for calendar year 2014. The CAFO requires Masters Machine to pay a $92,210 penalty.
This action is expected to encourage compliance with the reporting requirements of EPCRA to ensure that the community is not deprived of its right to know about chemical releases that may affect public health and the environment. Enforcement of this program is not delegated to the State.
