EPA v. Rocore Southwest Inc.

Case summary

On June 6, 2017, a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) was issued to Rocore Southwest Inc. (Rocore) to resolve violations of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA ? 313) for its facility in Dallas, Texas. EPCRA ? 313 is implemented directly by the EPA, as it has not been delegated to any state. The violations were discovered during an investigation initiated in June of 2016, when the EPA conducted a review of Rocore?s reporting of toxic chemical releases and waste management. The EPA discovered four counts of failure to timely report copper and four counts of failure to timely report lead for the years 2011 through 2014. Under the terms of the CAFO, Rocore has corrected the violations, which ensures that their releases and waste management of these chemicals will be now represented in the Toxic Release Inventory database. They will also pay a civil penalty of $43,791.00.
