Case summary

THIS REFERRAL IS PURSUANT TO SECTION 3008(A) AND (G) OF RCRA, 42 U.S.C. SECTION 6928(A) AND (G), FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND CIVIL PENALTIES TO REDRESS VIOLATIONS OF RCRA AND/OR USED OIL BURNED FOR ENERGY RECOVERY. AT THE REQUEST OF REGION II, EPA'S NATIONAL ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS CENTER ( NEIC ) CONDUCTED INVESTIGATIONS AT TEN FACILITIES IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY TO DETERMINE THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH THE WASTE OIL REGULATIONS. THESE INVESTI- IONS FOCUSED ON WHETHER THE MARKETING ACTIVITIES OF THESE FACILITIES COMPLIED WITH SUBPARTS D AND E OF 40 C.F.R PART 266. ALL NEW JERSEY FACILITIES WERE FOUND TO BE IN VIOLAT- ION OF THE WASTE OIL REGULATIONS. THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATIOINS OF PART 266 REGULATIONS ARE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS. BECAUSE OF THE POTEN- TIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ENFORCING THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND FILING THESE COMPLAINT PROMPTLY ASSUMES INCREASED IMPORTANCE. BY FILING THESE CASES, THE UNITED STATES CAN BEGIN TO ESTABLISH AN ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE IN AN AREA WHERE NON- COMPLIANCE THREATENS PUBLIC HEALTH. * FACILITY ADDRESS: 740 LLOYDE ROAD ABERDEEN, N.J. 07747 OWNERSHIP: PRIVATE SIC CODE: 5171
