EPA v. Duke Energy Corporation

Case summary

This is an Administrative Penalty action pursuant to Section 325(c) of Title II of the Superfund Amndments and Reauthorization Act (EPCRA) issued in resolution of a Self-Audit/Self-Disclosure received from Duke Energy Corporation. The violation involves a failure to submit timely a Form R reports for polycyclic aromatic compounds and benzo(g,h,i)perylene otherwise used at the facility in 2000. Because the Respondent's self-disclosure of these violations meets the criteria of EPA's Audit Policy, the penalty that would have been due has been reduced to zero dollars (100% mitigation).
