EPA v. OLIN CHLOR ALKALI PRODUCTS

Case summary

8/21/14 - NOTICE OF DETERMINATION ISSUED. ON MAY 26, 2011, OCAP DISCLOSED TO EPA VIOLATION OF FIFRA. THE DISCLOSURE INFORMED EPA THAT APPROX 4676 SHIPMENTS OF PESTICIDES AND DEVICES WERE IMPORTED IN TO THE U.S. FROM MAY 26, 2006 TO JUNE 16, 2011, WITHOUT FILING A NOTICE OF ARRIVAL OF PESTICIDES AND DEVICES. ALTHOUGH OCAP BELIVED THAT A NOTICE OF ARRIVAL WAS FILED FOR ALL SHIPMENTS ENTERING THE US AFTER MAY 27, 2011, THEY INCLUDED IN THEIR ESTIMATES ALL SHIPMENTS THAT SHOW AN IMPORT DATE WITHIN THE TWO WEEK PERIOD FOLLOWING MAY 27, 2011 BECAUSE THEY WERE UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE SHIPMENTS THAT WERE IN TRANSIT DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. OCAP HAS SINCE FILED THE REQUIRED NOTICES OF ARRIVAL FOR THE PESTICIDE SHIPMENTS THEREBY CORRECTING THE REPORTING VIOLATIONS, AND SIGNALING ITS RETURN TO COMPLIANCE.
