EPA v. WHITE CAP, INC.

Final Order No Penalty

Compliance action

$5,000

Case summary

THIS ORDER REQUIRES WHITE CAP TO DO CAPTURE EFFICIENCY TESTING ON ITS COATING LINES. IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THIS REQUIREMENT WHITE CAP HAS INSTALLED PERMANENT TOTAL ENCLOSURES (PTE) ON SEVERAL OF ITS COATING LINES. THIS IS A FAVORABLE STEP BECAUSE PTES ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM CAPTURE AND DESTRUCTION OF VOCA. WHITE CAP IS REQUIRED TO TEST ALL LINES THAT DO NOT HAVE PTES BY 12/31/99.
