EPA v. ANFIELD AND SONS (COE ACO)

Case summary

U.S. EPA Region 5 entered into an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with Anfield and Sons Metal Recyclers, LLC and owners Carl and James Anfield (Anfield) to address violations of the Clean Air Act. EPA alleged in a July 11, 2014 Finding of Violation that Anfield had violated regulations for the protection of stratospheric ozone by failing to recover ozone-depleting refrigerants from appliances accepted for recycling at Anfield's Portland, Oregon metal recycling facility. The ACO requires Anfield to recover refrigerant from the appliances and document that it has delivered the used refrigerant to an EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation facility. EPA expects the ACO requirements will prevent approximately 800 pounds per year of ozone-depleting and global-warming refrigerants from being released into the environment.
