EPA v. JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON
Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
Region 10 settled with Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (Anchorage, AK) for violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (facility). The implementing regulations of RCRA require entities that generate solid waste to determine if the waste is hazardous and requires that generators of hazardous waste must manage the hazardous waste in compliance with the RCRA requirements in order to protect human health and the environment. EPA alleges that Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson generated hazardous waste at the facility and alleges that between 2016-2018, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson failed to make hazardous waste determinations for two waste streams, failure to conduct required weekly inspections of hazardous waste accumulation areas; improper container management and labeling requirements; and failure of personnel to take part in annual review of training. EPA also alleges that Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson failed to properly manage universal waste and inspect containers at the permitted hazardous waste storage facility. JBER demonstrated a cooperative attitude during settlement negotiations. It promptly corrected the violations and instituted new measures to prevent their recurrence. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson agreed to pay a penalty of $78,919.
