US EPA executed a Consent Agreement and Final Order with Cor-Met,Inc. of Brighton, Michigan that simultaneously commenced and concluded an administrative action alleging violations of RCRA. Cor-Met allegedly failed to: (1) label seven 55-gallon containers with the words ÂHazardous Waste, that were observed in an accumulation area during EPAÂs inspection; and (2) failed to date with a start accumulation date the same seven 55-gallon containers. The Agency was prepared to file an administrative complaint and seek a civil penalty of $28,895 for these alleged violations.
Region 5 agreed to settle this matter for $26,005.
