Case summary

On July 29, 2019, Region 5 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) under Section 3008(a) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that commences and concludes a proceeding against Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC, for alleged RCRA violations at its Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin facility (the Facility).

The Facility received a RCRA hazardous waste license that allows it to treat and store hazardous waste at certain locations at the Facility. The CAFO alleges Veolia stored hazardous waste at unlicensed units without meeting conditions for a license exemption, and did not adhere to the prior license inspection schedule for units the license covered. Veolia will pay a $40,872 penalty under the CAFO.
