EPA v. Material Management, Inc. (SB)

Case summary

The Defendant filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 on January 28, 2014, which was later converted to a Chapter 7 on May 29, 2014. The Defendant is subject to federal hazardous waste rules and regulations because the Commonwealth of PR has not received authorization to operate a hazardous waste program. Therefore, the Defendant must comply with federal hazardous waste rules and regulations including, 40 CFR 279.22(d) and 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart G Closure and Post Closure Requirements. EPA requests DOJ file a protective proof of claim in the Defendant bankruptcy, in the event the Defendant contends it does not need to comply with federal hazardous waste rules and regulations.
