Case summary
On March 29, 2012, Region 1 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) concluding an enforcement action against Roberts Chemical Company, Inc. (Roberts) for violations of Section 3002 of RCRA. Roberts operated a chemical packaging and distribution facility in Pawtucket, Rhode Island (RI Facility). The company violated numerous federal and state hazardous waste management requirements. In January 2011, Roberts closed its RI Facility and moved its business to a facility located in Attleboro, Massachusetts (MA Facility). EPA ordered Roberts to immediately achieve and maintain compliance with RCRA and the Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Management Act at the MA Facility. EPA has determined that Roberts has fully complied with the Compliance Order and did not seek a penalty in this action.
