EPA v. Wade Salvage Inc. (SB)

Case summary

The dismantling of a former chemical manufacturing facility in Gibbstown, New Jersey resulted in the distribution of asbestos-containing material around the facility's grounds, which the primary Defendant later spent over $1 million to clean up. EPA sued the primary Defendant (one of three entities involved) in the Fall of 2012, seeking to recover civil penalties for alleged violations of the CAA regulations that apply to the renovation and demolition of asbestos-containing facilities. That case has been resolved. This case resolves violations against one of the two remaining Defendants and requires the Defendant to pay a civil penalty of $5,000.
