EPA v. All American Propane, Inc.

Case summary

On March 28, 2017, Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement (ESA) against All American Propane, Inc. located in Yakima, Washington to address violations of Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act for failing to file the annual Tier II Hazardous Chemical Inventory Report for calendar year 2014 and previous years. The facility qualified for an ESA instead of the traditional enforcement policy because they had less than 300,000 pounds of propane stored on-site and were 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.
