Case summary

On March 29, 2018, Region 1 settled an administrative penalty action against Atlantic Footcare, Inc. alleging violations of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). An August 2, 2017 EPA inspection revealed that the company was in noncompliance with EPCRA, specifically, the company had failed to file Toxic Release Inventory Forms for chemicals within the Diisocyanates Chemical Category for the years 2014, 2015, and 2016. The company promptly submitted the required forms following the inspection and certifies in the Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) that it is in compliance with EPCRA. Under the terms of the CAFO, the company also agrees to pay a $49,375 penalty, on a six-month payment schedule, for its past noncompliance.
