## Summary

This enforcement case addresses violations by Wilbur-Ellis Company at three facilities; Glenn CA, Hughson, CA and Buckeye, AZ.  Wilbur-Ellis facilities in Glenn, Calif., Hughson, Calif., and Buckeye, Ariz. had unsealed cracks in the floors and/or walls of the facilities� pesticide containment areas, and, in addition, the Glenn facility was found to have an undersized containment area.  The company�s Glenn and Hughson facilities were found to have improper safeguards for pesticide equipment, such as hoses and valves, which increases the risk of a pesticide release to the environment.  Additionally, the Hughson facility was improperly using an external site gauge to monitor levels of liquid pesticide in a storage tank, a violation that increases the risk of a pesticide release. Further, Wilbur-Ellis was also cited for inadequate tank labeling, recordkeeping, and inspection documentation. A penalty of $62,080 was paid.
