Summary

Consent Agreement and Final Order with the Municipality, resolving certain violations of RCRA Subtitle C. In particular, EPA alleged the Municipality failed to: (1) determine if the solid waste generated at its facility constitutes hazardous waste, as required by 40 C.F.R. 262.11; (2) comply with Universal Waste requirements as specified in 40 C.F.R. 273.14(a) and 273.15(c); and (3) comply with the Used Oil regulations set forth at 40 C.F.R. 279.22. As part of the Agreement, the Municipality will perform a pollution prevention SEP costing at least $196,185, consisting of connecting approximately 50 residential units with faulty septic tanks to PRASA's sewage system to reduce the potential discharge of pollutants. The Municipality will also pay a penalty of $23,373.
