On April 23, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency filed an administrative complaint under the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) against Mercury Vapor Processing Technologies, Inc., a.k.a. River Shannon Recycling (River Shannon), alleging that it operated a hazardous waste storage and treatment facility in Riverdale, Illinois, without obtaining a RCRA permit. Specifically, over the course of several years, River Shannon collected mercury containing fluorescent lamps and crushed them at the Riverdale facility, prior to sending them for disposal at solid waste landfills. Company records indicate that several hundred thousand lamps were processed at the facility. On January 28, 2011, EPA amended its complaint to add Laurence C. Kelly as a Respondent who was personally liable as an owner of the company. During the week of July 25, 2011, an administrative hearing was held in Chicago before the Honorable Administrative Law Judge Barbara A. Gunning. On December 14, 2012, Judge Gunning issued an Initial Decision in EPA's favor, which became a Final Order on February 7, 2013. The Final Order requires the Respondents to pay a 62,000 penalty, complete RCRA closure activities at the lamp crushing site to ensure that no contamination is present, and to comply with several additional requirements under RCRA pertaining to hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities.
