EPA v. MOLD BASE INDUSTRIES, INC.

Case summary

On April 19, 2024, Region 3 entered a Consent Agreement and Final Order with Mold Base Industries, Inc., that both initiated and resolved the matter, for EPCRA reporting violations at its manufacturing facility in Harrisburg, PA. The violations involved a failure to comply with Toxics Release Inventory reporting requirements related to its manufacturing of molds, constructed of metals including stainless steel that contain chromium, for the consumer products, automotive, medical, and food packaging industries. Such violations frustrate the ability of the public to be fully informed about potential releases of toxic chemicals and other goals of EPCRA. PADEP was provided notice of the planned enforcement action and had no objections. The settlement required the respondent to certify compliance with applicable EPCRA requirements and to pay a $14,216 penalty. The facility is not located in an area with potential EJ concerns.
