EPA v. KT ACQUISITION LLC

Case summary

On October 28, 2015, Region 1 signed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) to resolve civil administrative penalty claims alleged in a Complaint filed in September 2015 against KT Acquisition LLC (KT) of Worcester, Massachusetts for failing to file required Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports by the required July 2013 deadline. KT, through its KomTeK Division, is a precision closed-die forging and investment casting facility. KT will pay a $10,584 penalty to resolve the three reporting violations alleged in the Complaint. This settlement is expected to encourage compliance by the regulated community with the reporting requirements of EPCRA and will ensure that the community is not deprived of its right to know about chemical releases that may affect public health and the environment.
