EPA v. EPCRA non-313 Willocks Construction Corp

Case summary

This is an administrative penalty action pursuant to Sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA issued to Willocks Construction, HI. The company self-disclosed the violations under the EPA Small Business Policy and Audit Policy. The violations involve failure to provide chemical hazard information to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) as required under Section 311 of EPCRA and to provide annual chemical inventories to the SERC, LEPC and the fire department with jurisdiction for the reporting year 2009. Under the EPA's Audit Policy, if the facility has met all nine qualifying criteria, only the economic benefit portion of the penalty may be considered. The Complaint/Consent Agreement establishes that the economic benefit realized by the company as a result of the noncompliance was minimal and that the Respondent has qualified for mitigation of 100% of the gravity portion of the penalty. The penalty would have been approximately $37,500 had the violation been discovered by EPA prior to the self-disclosure under the Policy.
