EPA v. BROADWAY SELF STORAGE

Case summary

On September 24, 2018, Region 1 executed and filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order to settle civil penalty claims against Broadway Self-Storage, Inc. of South Portland, Maine, for violations of the Clean Air Act?s Risk Management Planning requirements. The company stores propane for propane vendors at its facility in South Portland, Maine. The company does not qualify for a regulatory exclusion that applies to flammable fuels held for sale at a retail facility. The settlement claims that the company had not filed a risk management plan or properly tested emergency shut-off valves. The CAFO requires payment of a $5,000 penalty. The penalty was reduced to that amount due to the company's inability to pay a larger penalty. The RMP regulations are not delegated to any New England state, but EPA has provided a copy of the CAFO to Maine.
