EPA v. EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE (FF)

Final Order With Penalty

Case summary

On September 23, 2021, Region 10 settled with the United States Air Force at Eielson Air Force Base (AK) for violations of Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The implementing regulations of RCRA require that generators of hazardous waste must manage the hazardous waste in compliance with RCRA requirements to protect human health and the environment. The violations are based on an October 2020 inspection of Eielson Air Force Base and include 1) failure to make a hazardous waste determination; 2) failure to comply with the conditions to store hazardous waste without a permit or interim status by not performing weekly inspections; 3) failure to properly manage universal waste lamps; and 4) failure to properly label a container of used oil. The Air Force will pay a penalty of $23,354.
