The December 10, 2014 Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) was negotiated to resolve alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In summary, Spartek, Inc. failed to comply with the RCRA hazardous waste tank requirements for two 1,000 gallon polyethylene tanks. Spartek, Inc. utilized the two tanks for the accumulation of a chromium bearing waste stream (dip dye waste). The Consent Agreement And Final Order (CAFO) includes the following Counts: 1) Failure to maintain records of daily and weekly inspections; 2) Failure to equip storage tanks with inflow controls; and 3) Failure to prepare and maintain assessment of tank system integrity. For the purposes of settlement, a penalty of $26,000 plus interest (paid in two annual installments), was agreed upon. The CAFO does not include any injunctive relief because Spartek removed these tanks.
