EPA v. SUMMIT INC.
Final Order No Penalty
Case summary
Summit, Inc. is a scrapyard in Gary, Indiana that accepts at least one small appliance per day. Prior to EPA's involvement, the facility accepted refrigerant-containing appliances without collecting verification statements from the seller or completing recovery on the appliances. Since then, Summit, Inc. has started using recovery equipment. It was determined by NEIC that Summit was unable to pay the penalty associated with these violations, so the referral was withdrawn from the Department of Justice, and this ACO resolves those violations.
