EPA v. AMERIPRIDE SERVICES INC - HARTFORD

Case summary

AmeriPride used to operate an industrial laundry facility in Hartford, CT that, among other things, formerly landered towels used by the print industry and machine shops. These towels can be soiled with various solvents that can emit volatile orgarnic compounds (VOCs) during the laundering process. As a result of an EPA inspection and AmeriPride’s response to a CAA reporting requirement and other information gathered after the inspection, Region 1 determined that, due to the potential emissions of VOCs from the facility, AmeriPride had violated the Connectiicut New Source Review program requirements as well as Title V permitting requirements. After a period of negotiations, AmeriPride agreed to pay $37,500 penalty for the alleged violations at its facility.
