EPA v. WCR, Inc CAFO

Case summary

WCR, Inc., a heat exchanger refurbishing facility in Fresno, Calif., was inspected by EPA in March 2013, revealing the company’s failure to properly label and close hazardous waste containers. EPA inspectors also found that the facility had failed to maintain a hazardous waste container in good condition, leading to minor leaks, and had failed to minimize the possibility of unplanned releases by storing the leaking container in an outdoor, uncovered area. The facility had also failed to conduct required weekly inspections. WCR has agreed to pay $34,600 to resolve these violations.
