## Summary

USEPA and Access Business Group, located in Ada, MI (the Respondent) entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) to resolve violations of Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. On June 14, 2011 EPA conducted an RMP compliance inspection of Access. The facility has an aerosol products process that includes the storage and use of liquefied petroleum gas propellants (flammables). The inspection identified deficiencies with the facility’s operating procedures, training program, mechanical integrity program, and compliance audit program.  On July 17, 2013, EPA issued a Pre-Filing Notice Letter stating that it planned to bring an administrative action alleging 8 violations and proposing a penalty of $108,000. This penalty was mitigated to $17,850 based on Access’s cooperation throughout negotiations, the speed with which the company came into compliance, the company’s evidence to show compliance with 3 of the alleged violations, and the company’s agreement to perform a SEP. The SEP includes purchasing at least 2,000 feet of an inflatable flood prevention barrier system and a new trash pump to prevent or mitigate the risk of flooding of the storage tank area. The SEP is valued at $114,000.
