EPA v. TELEDYNE MONARCH RUBBER PLANT #1

Case summary

A RCRA 3008(A) COMPLAINT, AS AMENDED, WAS FILED TO REQUIRE TELEDYNE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RCRA, INCLUDING THE CLOSURE OF AN ILLEGAL SURFACE IMPOUNDMENT, DURING THE COURSE OF NEGOTIATING A SETTLEMENT OF THIS COMPLAINT, USEPA FIRST ENTERED INTO A RCRA 3008(H) CORRECTIVE ACTION ORDER ON CONSENT TO MEMORIALIZE TELEDYNE'S COMMITMENT TO CLEAN UP GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION ON SITE, AS WELL AS CHARACTERIZE ALL CONTAMINATION ON SITE, AND RECOMMEND REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES VIA A FACILITY ASSESSMENT/CORRECTIVE MEASURES STUDY. UPON FURTHER NEGOTIATION OF THE CAFO TO RESOLVE THE AMENDED COMPLAINT, USEPA ASCERTAINED THAT THE FACILITY WAS IN VIOLATION OF CWA REQUIREMENTS IN THAT IT DISCHARGED TREATED WASTEWATER TO SURFACE WATERS OF THE STATE WITHOUT AN APPROVED NPDES PERMIT. USEPA THEREFORE CONTACTED OEPA, WHICH RESULTED IN THE FACILITY COMPLETING A PERMIT APPLICATION AND BEING ISSUED AN NPDES PERMIT. USEPA AND OEPA WORKED TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THE NPDES PERMIT AND RCRA CONSENT AGREEMENTS WERE COMPATIBLE AND PROVIDED ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND SOLUTIONS TO ALL SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL, GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER PROBLEMS AT THE SITE.
