Case summary

EPA reviewed Anderson Instrument Co. Inc.’s September 18, 2007 voluntary disclosure to EPA of the following violations pursuant to EPAs December 22, 1995 Incentives for Self-Policing; Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of Violations, (Audit Policy) for not filing Form R reports for lead for years 2004, 2005, and 2006 and for mercury for 2005. 100% mitigation under the Audit Policy cannot be granted because the company fails to meet the No Repeat Violations criterion described at condition D.7 of the Audit Policy. A Notice of Noncompliance was issued to Anderson Instrument Co., Inc. on April 11, 2006 for the failure to file TRI Form R reports for mercury for calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. This is within three years of the September 18, 2007 disclosure.
