EPA v. SARTELL VALVES INC

Case summary

DeZURIK has a coating operation and did not submit example calculations and supporting data from Nov 2009 to Nov 2010 in violation of Section 112 of the CAA, Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products, Subpart MMMM. In response to the FOV, DeZURIK proposed SEPs. Two SEPs were acceptable. On 09/26/2012, an Amended CAFO was issued to Dezurik Inc. as a result of a failure to complete a SEP from the original CAFO. The Amended CAFO results in a Demand of Stipulated Penalties for $16,712. The following summarizes the Amended CAFO: 1) DZ's original CAFO included two SEPs costing $94.678 in total. 2) DZ owed us $32,862 for not completing the first of these two different SEPs -- reason was unanticipated techical infeasibility. 3) DZ completed its second SEP, thus earning a mitigation credit of $9,142. 4) DZ agrees to do a new third SEP (necessitating an amended CAFO) to get a mitigation credit of $7,008. 5) Both credits are applied toward the stipulated penalty of $32,862, leaving DZ owing us a stipulated penalty of $16,712 [$$32,862 - ($9,142 + $7,008)]
