EPA v. Hiland Dairy Foods Co.

Case summary

Hiland Dairy Foods Co. in Chandler, OK, was inspected on March 28, 2017 to determine compliance with Section 313 of the Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). It was found that the facility violated Section 313 of EPCRA by failing to timely report nitric acid for the 2015 calendar year. Information collected pursuant to EPCRA ? 313 supports informed decision-making by industry, government, non-governmental organizations, and the public, and it encourages facilities to reduce their emissions. The program is implemented by the EPA, as it has not been delegated to any state; however, the program contact with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality did attend the inspection. A Consent Agreement and Final Order was issued on March 29, 2018. Hiland has corrected the violation and has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $8,150.
