EPA v. Univar USA Inc.

Case summary

On December 9, 2019, the Region issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) to Univar USA Inc. for its facility in Von Ormy, Texas. The CAFO addressed violations of RCRA requirements for small quantity generators. Discrepancies in hazardous waste shipment data prompted further investigation which confirmed that the facility operated outside of its generator status for 2016, thereby failing to meet the requisite State notification requirements. The CAFO requires A&B to certify that it has met its generator requirements, and to pay a civil penalty of $5,665.00. The TCEQ is familiar with the Region's data mining methodology and was consulted prior to contacting the facility.
