EPA v. JOINT BASE ELEMENDORF-RICHARDON - CAFO (FF) (RCRA HW)
Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
On September 28, 2026, EPA Region 10 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with the United States Air Force to address a RCRA violation at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. The CAFO resolves a violation of the Permit for the failure to notify EPA of the release from a solid waste management unit (SWMU) within the timeframe required. There was a seven-year delay in notifying the Agency of the release of several hazardous waste and hazardous constituents including tetrachloroethylene (PCE) that impeded timely characterization of the plume, the identification of its source, and the evaluation of potential migration of the contamination. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Air Force will pay a $47,003 civil penalty within 30 days.
