The Regional Judicial Officer issued a Final Order on April 15, 2025, ratifying a Consent Agreement to commence and settle a penalty action to resolve violations of Section 312 of EPCRA against Allen Distribution, LP ( Allen Distribution ). Allen Distribution owns and operates a trucking distribution center located in Carlisle, PA. The Consent Agreement alleges that Respondent violated Section 312 of EPCRA when it failed to submit to the state emergency response commission, the local emergency planning committee, and local fire department a complete Chemical Inventory Form for calendar years 2023, 2022, and 2021 by March 1 of the following calendar years, potentially putting first responders at risk in the event of an emergency response.
