Region 1 filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement with Superior Plus Energy Services, Inc., of Seymour, Connecticut, settling violations of the Spill Prevention regulations under the Clean Water Act. Although the facility stores oil in amounts above the thresholds requiring the preparation and implementation of a SPCC plan, it did not have an adequate plan. Preparing and fully implementing an SPCC plan will ensure that even if there is a release of oil from a tank or oil-filled equipment at the facility, it will be contained on site, and not have harmful effects on people or the environment. Because of the size of the facility and other factors, EPA utilized the ESA enforcement tool. The penalty in the settlement is $9,500.
