EPA v. MACROSOURCE, LLC

Case summary

July 23, 2026 - CONSENT AGREEMENT On May 19, 2025, the EPA issued a Notice of Inspection notifying Respondent that the EPA would be conducting an inspection at Respondent's Facility pursuant to Section 11(a) of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. ?2610(a), to evaluate Respondent's compliance with TSCA. In response to the Notice of Inspection, on June 6, 2025, Respondent submitted certain records to the EPA pertaining to its exportation, and importation of chemicals. On June 17, 2025, the EPA conducted the inspection at Respondent's Facility. On October 30, 2025, after reviewing the import records submitted by Respondent, the EPA issued Respondent an Opportunity to Show Cause letter alleging that Respondent had potentially violated Sections 8 and 15 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. ?? 2607 and 2614, by failing to comply with the CDR requirements found in 40 C.F.R. Part 711. On November 24, 2025, Respondent provided a response to the Opportunity to Show Cause letter accepting the potential violation. . Records submitted by Respondent included import records from 2020-2023, indicating that Respondent imported a reportable quantity (greater than 25,000 pounds) of Chemicals A, B, C, D, and E for commercial purposes from 2020-2023 . . Chemicals A, B, C, D, and E were in the TSCA Master Inventory File at the beginning of a submission period described in 40 C.F.R. ? 711.20 and were not chemical substances specifically excluded from the CDR reporting requirements by 40 C.F.R. ? 711.6. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. ? 711.15, Respondent was required to submit a 2024 CDR Report to the EPA for reportable chemical substances that were manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes in quantities greater than 25,000 pounds in calendar years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 by no later than the end of the 2024 CDR submission period, which was November 22, 2024. Chemicals A, B, C, D, and E are reportable chemical substances imported by Respondent during the 2024 CDR submission period (2020-2023) and are therefore subject to the 2024 CDR reporting requirements. Respondent did not submit a CDR Report for Chemicals A, B, C, D, and E by November 22, 2024, the last day of the 2024 CDR submission period. On September 25, 2025, Respondent submitted a 2024 CDR Report for Chemicals A, B, C, D, and E. Based on the EPA's investigation, including a review of Respondent's records as set forth above, the EPA alleges that Respondent failed to submit a 2024 CDR Report for Chemicals A, B, C, D, and E during the 2024 CDR submission period which ended on November 22, 2024, in violation of 40 C.F.R. ?711.15, and Sections 8 and 15 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. ?? 2607 and 2614. Respondent consents to the payment of a civil penalty, which was calculated in accordance with the Act, in the amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($115,500.00), which is to be paid within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this CAFO.
