CWA state permit & CAA act violation will be handled by the MDE. 'Self disclosures'.
On June 24, 2005, EPA issued a Notice of Determination (���NOD���) pursuant to the ���Final Policy Statement on Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction, and Prevention of Violations,��� 65 Fed. Reg. 19618 (April 11, 2000). The NOD is based on self-disclosures provided by TAMKO Roofing Products, Inc. (���TAMKO���) regarding potential violations of Sections 311 of the Clean Water Act (���CWA���) 42 U.S.C. �� 1321 and its implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R Part 112. The violations occurred at the TAMKO facility located in Frederick, Maryland.
The violations which are addressed in this NOD were voluntarily disclosed by TAMKO, by letters dated August 19, 2002, October 16, 2002 and May 12, 2003 to EPA . TAMKO also self-disclosed violations of the Clean Air Act (MDE Permit issues) and Clean Water Act (MDE Discharge Permit issues) to EPA and the Maryland Department of the Environment. EPA is deferring to MDE���s resolution of these violations.
The total gravity-based civil penalty for these violations would be $15,840. Since TAMKO satisfied all of the conditions of EPA���s Self-Disclosure Policy and the amount of economic benefit gained was insignificant, EPA waived the gravity-based civil penalty for the disclosed violations.
