EPA v. DANA TRANSPORT (NITRO FACILITY)

Case summary

On August 25, 2026, 2026, Region 3 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO), simultaneously commencing and concluding an administrative enforcement action, against Dana Transport, Inc. for violations of RCRA C and the West Virginia federally authorized hazardous waste program at the facility located at 19 Plant Road, Nitro, West Virginia 25143 (the Facility ). The Facility's principal business is to lease transportation equipment and operate a tank wash. The violations alleged include (1) operating without a permit or interim status; (2) failure to submit exception reports; (3) failure to conduct weekly inspections; (4) failure to have a complete contingency plan; (5) failure to submit contingency plan to local authorities; (6) failure to provide initial and annual review of hazardous waste training; (7) failure to maintain documents and records; and (8) universal waste lamps regulation deficiencies. Violations such as these can potentially lead to hazardous waste entering the environment which can be harmful to both human health and the environment. Taking actions against such violations aligns with Pillar 1 of the Powering the Great American Comeback initiative. The settlement requires Dana Transport, Inc. to certify that it is now in compliance with applicable hazardous waste requirements and to pay a $38,640.00 penalty. The EPA notified the West Virgina Department of Environmental Protection in advance of this action, and the Department had no objections.
