Case summary
On September 6, 2022, EPA Region 10 settled with Baker Petrolite LLC for violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) observed during an inspection at its Kenai, Alaska location. The self-implementing regulations of RCRA require generators of hazardous waste to manage the hazardous waste in compliance with the RCRA requirements to protect human health and the environment. EPA alleges that Baker Petrolite LLC failed to conduct central accumulation area inspections weekly, and that it failed to comply with satellite accumulation area requirements. Baker Petrolite LLC agreed to pay a penalty of $15,874. According to EJScreen, Kenai Alaska is an area of potential EJ concern for indices in the state percentile.
