EPA v. CAVALIER PRINTING INK COMPANY, INC. D/B/A CAVALIER INK AND COATINGS (CAVALIER INK AND COATINGS)

Case summary

On September 28, 2021, EPA-Region III signed a Consent Agreement and Final Order with Cavalier Printing Ink Company, Inc., doing business as Cavalier Ink and Coatings ( Cavalier ) for improper facility hazardous waste management methods and other violations of regulatory requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ( RCRA ). The agreement, which contains both a Consent Agreement and Compliance Order, initiated and resolved the matter. Since 1984, the Facility has manufactured inks for the printing industry. Cavalier uses solvent and non-solvent materials in its ink manufacturing processes. Some of the materials possess an ignitability characteristic and are classified under RCRA as hazardous. Among the violations cited are: exceedance of the allowable 90-day temporary storage limit for hazardous waste; failure to make a hazardous waste determination; failure to conduct adequate weekly inspections, failure to provide annual hazardous waste training, and failure to update the facility contingency plan when there has been a change in the Emergency Coordinator. The Consent Agreement and Compliance Order required Cavalier to certify that it is now in compliance and to pay a $3,000.00 penalty. The Consent Agreement also requires the respondent to work with a contractor to develop RCRA SOPs for its facility.
