The CAFO requires United Illuminating to pay a penalty of $57,728 to settle EPA's claims. Connecticut Department of Energy & Environment Protection performed an inspection of the former power plant and referred the case to EPA. The alleged violations include failure to timely dispose of PCB waste, failure to properly store PCB waste for disposal, and failure to properly label PCB waste containers. The PCB regulations are directly enforced by EPA, but EPA shared a copy of the CAFO with the State. Docket Number TSCA-01-2026-0035.
