EPA v. DCM LEGACY, INC.

Case summary

On June 2, 2025, a Consent Agreement and Final Order entered into by the EPA and DCM Legacy, Inc. (Respondent) was filed with the Regional Hearing Clerk settling alleged violations of the CAA. The violations were discovered as a result of an investigation into activities at Respondent's nonmetallic mineral processing plant located at 3334 Kenilworth Avenue in Hyattsville, Maryland (Facility) where it was determined that Respondent was both subject to and in violation of the CAA and Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants, codified at 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Subpart (NMPP NSPS). Specifically, Respondent failed to conduct monthly inspections of wet suppression systems associated with its crushers and failed to make records available upon request. Respondent sold the Facility on or about February 3, 2023. This case seeks to ensure that facilities that process nonmetallic minerals comply with applicable emissions standards, work practice and monitoring requirements to minimize the risk of potential harm to neighboring communities and the environment caused by particulate matter in furtherance of the goal of providing clean air to every American. The parties reached an agreement on a civil penalty of $55,742 to address Respondent's violations and the Consent Agreement and Final both initiates and resolves EPA's administrative civil penalty claims. In keeping with our goal to work with our Agency partners, Maryland has been notified of this action and has not raised any objections.
