Case summary
On March 3, 2021, the Region filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement which settled EPA's penalty claim for violations of CWA Section 311(j) at the Ventura Foods, LLC facility located in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. EPA conducted an inspection of the facility on September 18, 2018 and discovered that the facility failed to prepare an adequate Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan, failed to adequately conduct routine visual inspections of bulk storage tanks, and failed to provide oil handling personnel with adequate discharge prevention briefings. The respondent has agreed to pay a cash penalty of $719 to settle the matter. PADEP was informed of this action and raised no objections.
