EPA v. CLARK IRON & METAL CO, INC (ACO COE)

Case summary

Clark accepted for recycling appliances and vehicles that used a Class I or Class II refrigerant without recovering the refrigerant or verifying via a compliant signed statement that the refrigerant had been properly recovered before delivery to Clark for recycling. The violations were discovered during the inspection of Clark on May 7, 2014. On September 15, 2014, EPA issued a Finding of Violation which alleged that Clark failed to reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances as required by 40 C.F.R. Part 82, Subpart F. The ACO will bring the Clark Murfreesboro facility into compliance with the Clean Air Act. The CAFO will require Clark to pay a civil penalty of $9,000 and perform a supplemental environmental project (SEP) with a total cost of $27,000. The SEP will consist of providing partial funding for the replacement of parking lot lighting at a local school with energy efficient LED units. Together these two agreements will resolve the company?s alleged violations of the Clean Air Act.
