EPA conducted an inspection at Valmont's facility on May 16, 2001. During the inspection, EPA observed hazardous waste management violations.
Respondent acknowledges in CAFO that it has successfully undertaken measures to return to compliance, and certifies that it is in compliance with the RCRA requirements which formed the basis for the allegations contained in the CAFO. According to para 137 of the CAFO, Respondent has properly labeled its containers; closed its containers; removed its 550-gal tote, avoiding the requirement for Level 2 controls; ensured adequate aisle space in its hazardous waste dock area; updated personnel training and recordkeeping requirements; updated its contingency plan; properly completed LDR notifications; and cleaned up its hazardous waste spill. Therefore, no further relief is sought or is needed to achieve compliance at this time. Compliance simply requires payment of civil penalty within 30 days of CAFO.
