EPA v. Outlook Group Corp

Case summary

On May 2, 2017, U.S. EPA filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) that simultaneously commences and concludes an action alleging violations of certain hazardous waste requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), against Outlook Group Corp., at its facility in Neenah, Wisconsin. The allegations included: failure to meet all the conditions necessary to exempt it from the requirement to obtain a license (satellite container requirements - labeling and keeping containers closed); failure to make and document a hazardous waste determination; failure to comply with manifest retention requirements; failure to inspect emergency equipment; failure to maintain sufficient aisle space, failure to comply with the contingency plan requirements; failure to comply with universal waste requirements; and failure to comply with hazardous waste training requirements. Outlook Group Corp., has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $10,845. The CAFO does include a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP). Outlook Group Corp., will perform an LED lighting project at the facility valued at $81,097 that will include retrofitting of the facility�s current fluorescent lighting fixtures in approximately 300,000 square feet of building space. The LED lighting project would significantly reduce the amount of universal waste that is generated at the facility.
