EPA v. Betteroads Asphalt Corp.

Case summary

On August 19,2015, EPA conducted a compliance evaluation inspection, pursuant to RCRA Section 3007, at the Respondent's facility located in St. Thomas, USVI. During the inspection, EPA identified concerns related to the management of hazardous waste and used oil. Specifically, EPA found the Respondent generated solid waste, potentially ignitable hazardous waste, but failed to make a hazardous waste determination of such waste stream. As a result, on July 6, 2016, EPA issued a Request for Information letter and Notice of Violation pursuant to RCRA Sections 3007 and 3008, respectively. However, Respondent failed to address the concerns presented in the aforementioned letter, as requested. Consequently, on April 20, 2017, EPA offered the Respondent an Opportunity for Expedited Settlement under RCRA Section 3008, which allow the Respondent to correct the cited violations and pay the assessed penalty of $2,000.
