EPA v. KIMBLE MIXER COMPANY

Case summary

A Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) was filed with the Region 5 hearing clerk on July 12, 2012. This CAFO has been been negotiated to resolve alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§6901 et seq., by Kimble Mixer Reiser Ave. Plant (Kimble Mixer). The CAFO required Kimble Mixer to pay $44,500 to resolve the Agency's claims. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s allegations were based on information obtained during an inspection on August 26, 2009. That inspection revealed that Kimble Mixer failed to comply with the following requirements: hazardous waste determination, container closure and labeling, emergency arrangements, and conditions which exempt generators from obtaining a hazardous waste permit for storage and treatment.
