The defendant committed the following RCRA violations concerned with the generation and management of hazardous waste (including universal waste): (1) failure to make hazardous waste determination; (2) storage of hazardous waste without having obtained a RCRA permit (or having complied with all provisions that would have exempted the defendant from the permitting requirement); and (3) failure to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment.
EPA is seeking an injunction to achieve and maintain future compliance with all the applicable RCRA statutory and regulatory provisions and payment of a civil penalty for these violations. The facility underwent a follow-up RCRA compliance evaluation inspection on August 24, 2009. No violations were found.
