EPA v. AFTON CHEMICAL CORP - ACO

Case summary

EPA and Afton have agreed upon a civil penalty of $327,500, however, Afton is interested in pursuing a supplemental environmental project (SEP). Afton has expressed interest to continue moving forward with the ACO, while we find an acceptable SEP for both parties. This ACO requires Afton to obtain a Title V permit modification that indicates the site is a major source of HAP, come into compliance with the MON, and to conduct a third-party audit of its LDAR compliance procedures and adopt certain quality assurance measures to ensure continued LDAR compliance. The ACO addresses the violations set forth in the NOV/FOV issued to Afton on April 20, 2018.
