This case addresses violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by Aggreko, LLC (Aggreko), a commercial and industrial equipment leasing company headquartered in the United Kingdom. During the period from July 2012 through September 2012 Aggreko reported that it had discovered as a result of an internal audit that it had either changed the status of 77 stationary engines to be uncertified new nonroad engines or circumvented the residence-time requirement for 77 stationary engines in violation of the requirements of 40 C.F.R.§ 1068.101(a)(1) or (b)(3).
As a result of its settlement with EPA, Aggreko agreed to pay a penalty of $75,000 to the United States Treasury and to either a) export the engines outside of the United States, Canada or Mexico; b) destroy the engines; c) convert the engines to stationary use only or d) implement a compliance plan for any engine which will continue to be used as both a stationary and nonroad engine.
