Case summary
On August 4, 2016, EPA conducted an on-site inspection at the Respondent's facility in Yonkers, NY to determine regulatory compliance regarding the filing of Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) Form A or Form R reports under EPCRA Section 313. These reports are due July 1 of each year for each listed TRI chemical that exceeds the manufactured, processed or otherwise used threshold. Based on information provided subsequent to the inspection, it appears that the company had significant data quality errors in the TRI Form R reports for chromium for calendar years 2013 and 2014. The company corrected the reports to come into compliance. The Respondent will pay a cash penalty of $31,280.
