EPA v. MARC'S CLEANERS (MARC EISEMAN)

Case summary

RESPONDENT DISPOSED OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TO THE FLOOR OF THE FACILITY AND THE GROUNDWATER UNDERNEATH THE FACILITY. RESPONDENT EVAPORATED CONTACT WATER FROM THE DRY-CLEANING MACHINE, WHICH WAS A LISTED WASTE, F002. BY EVAPORATING THE CONTACT WATER, RESPONDENT TREATED A HAZARDOUS WASTE. FDEP DID NOT APPROVE THIS TREATMENT. THEREFORE, RESPONDENT FAILED TO ENSURE TREATMENT OF THE HAZARDOUS WASTE IN A FACILITY APPROVED BY THE STATE. SEE ALSO 04-2000-0850. RCRA ISSUED 2 INDIVIDUAL ORDERS ON THE MARCS CLEANERS CASE, ONE TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, ANITA KATZMAN, AND ONE TO THE OPERATOR, MARC EISMAN. THE REASON WE ISSUED 2 SEPARATE ORDERS, IS THAT WE OBTAINED A SETTLEMENT WITH ANITA KATZMAN, AND HAVE SIGNED A CAFO ON HER CASE. WE FILED HER ORDER AND CAFO ON THE SAME DAY. THE ORDER TO MARC EISMAN IS STILL UNRESOLVED.
