Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
On January 16, 2020, Region 10 filed an ESA against El Oro Cattle Feeders LLC located in Moses Lake, 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 2018. The facility qualified for ESA instead of the traditional enforcement action because the facility stores fuels under 30 times the reporting threshold. The ESA was for $5,000.
