EPA v. Davis Industries, Inc

Case summary

In January 2017, Region 10 filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) against Davis Industries, Inc. located in Lynnwood, Washington, to address violations of Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act for failing to file its annual Tier II Hazardous Chemical Inventory Report for calendar years 2013, 2014, and 2015. The facility qualified for an ESA instead of the traditional enforcement policy because it had less than 300,000 pounds of diesel stored on-site and was not storing extremely hazardous chemicals. Timely and accurate inventory reports to the State Emergency Response Commission, the Local Emergency Planning Committee, and the local Fire Department, provide important information to emergency responders and planners, including chemical quantities and emergency contacts. The company agreed to pay $5,000.
