The agreement requires Respondent to pay $30,148.00 in civil penalties. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was advised of this enforcement action and did not raise any objections. CERCLA 103, EPCRA 304, and EPCRA 312 release reporting and chemical identification helps communities plan for chemical emergencies by requiring industry to report on the storage, use, and releases of hazardous substances to federal, state, and local governments allowing them to use this information to prepare their community from potential risks.
