EPA v. U S CERAMIC TILE COMPANY

Case summary

U.S. CERAMIC HAS FAILED TO ABIDE BY A CONSENT DECREE ENTERED IN 1988 FOR PROPER CLOSURE OF THE FACILITY. THE CONSENT DECREE ALSO PROVIDES THAT U.S. CERAMIC MUST OBTAIN LIABILITY INSURANCE UNTIL CLOSURE IS CERTIFIED BY THE STATE. U.S. CERAMIC ONLY RECENTLY CAME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH ITS INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS AND HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH THE SPECIFICS OF CLOSURE TO THIS DATE. (TECHNICALLY THIS REFERRAL SHOULD BE AN E AMENDMENT TO THE PREVIOUS CD, BUT NO PREVIOUS CD IS IN DOCKET).
