EPA v. Carolina Logistics CAFO

Case summary

The Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) between the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Carolina Logistics Inc. addresses violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA) under Docket No. CAA-09-2025-0028. Specifically, the EPA alleges that Carolina Logistics violated Title 13, Section 2025 of the California Code of Regulations, known as the Truck and Bus Regulation (TBR), which is incorporated into the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). Between January 1, 2020, and May 5, 2023, Carolina Logistics failed to verify that nine diesel-fueled vehicles hired or dispatched for operations in California were compliant with the TBR requirements. This non-compliance constitutes a violation of Section 2025(x)(2) of the TBR and Section 113(a)(1) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. subsection 7413). Carolina Logistics agreed to pay a civil administrative penalty of $58,000 and acknowledged EPA?s jurisdiction while neither admitting nor denying the specific allegations.
