Case summary

On March EPA issued a Notice of Determination (NOD) pursuant to the Final Policy Statement on Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction, and Prevention of Violations, 65 Fed. Reg. 19618 (April 11, 2000). The NOD is based on a self-disclosure provided by Armstrong Cement and Supply Corporation (Armstrong) for violations of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 42 U.S.C. Section 11023, and its implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 372. The Armstrong Facility is located at 100 Clearfield Road, Cabot, PA 16023. In a letter to EPA dated July 9, 2010, and in subsequent responses to EPA inquiries, Armstrong disclosed that it had over-reported dioxin releases on TRI Form R reports for years 2006 through 2008. The total gravity-based civil penalty for these violations, calculated in accordance with EPA penalty policy. However, EPA evaluated the disclosure and resolved the matter by issuing a NOD.
