EPA v. II-IV INCORPORATED

Case summary

On November 23, 2004, EPA issued a Notice of Determination ( NOD ) pursuant EPA's Final Policy Statement on Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction, and Prevention of Violations. The NOD is based on self-disclosures provided by II-VI, Incorporated ( II-VI, Inc. ) for violations of Section 313 of the EPCRA at the facility located at 375 Saxonburg Boulevard, Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. II-VI, Inc. disclosed that it had failed to submit Toxic Release Inventory Forms ( Form Rs ) for Zinc Compounds and Copper for the reporting years 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The total gravity-based civil penalty for these violations would be $187,000. Since II-VI, Inc. satisfied all of the conditions of EPA's Self-Disclosure Policy and the amount of economic benefit gained was insignificant, EPA waived the gravity-based civil penalty for the disclosed violations.
