EPA v. L S STARRETT COMPANY

Final Order With Penalty

Case summary

On September 24,2013, an authorized representative of EPA conducted an SPCC inspection at L.S. Starrett Company, a tool manufacturing facility located in Athol, MA. Although L.S. Starrett Company stores oil in amounts above the thresholds requiring the preparation and implementation of a SPCC plan under 40 C.F.R. Part 112, it did not have an adequate SPCC plan. Because of the size of the facility and other factors, EPA is utilizing the ESA enforcement tool.
