EPA v. RM PACKER COMPANY INC

Case summary

Packer owns and operates a bulk terminal facility located at 199 Beach Road in Tisbury, Massachusetts (“Tisbury facility”). The facility stores and distributes gasoline which contains volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) and hazardous air pollutants (“HAPs”). Packer has also violated emission limits and equipment standards for gasoline bulk terminals, contained in the Massachusetts SIP. Packer also has violated the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants, and Pipeline Facilities (the “Area Source Gasoline Distribution NESHAP”), codified at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart BBBBBB. Specifically, Packer failed to submit notifications, conduct leak inspections and minimize air emissions at the Tisbury facility. EPA issued an AO for these violations in March 2014 This AO finds that Packer has violated, and is still in violation of NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants, and Pipeline Facilities, codified at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart BBBBBB. The AO requires Packet to come into compliance within 30 days.
