EPA v. NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION

Case summary

On March 31, 2010, EPA issued a combined Notice of Determination (“NOD”) and Notice of Noncompliance (“NON”) to resolve violations of the CAA which were self-disclosed by National Railroad Passenger Corporation (“Amtrak”) concerning its facility located in Wilmington, Delaware (“Facility”). Amtrak disclosed that it violated the Terms and Conditions of its CAA Title V Operating Permit for the Facility by failing to conduct and document training of employees on the operational standards of cold solvent degreaser units, and failing to conduct and document monthly cold solvent degreaser unit inspections. EPA determined that an NON rather than a penalty action was the appropriate enforcement response given the circumstances of the violation.
