## Summary

U.S. EPA Region 5 issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) to Totall Metal Recycling (Totall) to resolve violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA alleged that Totall accepted for recycling small appliances, such as refrigerators and room air conditioners, and motor vehicle air conditioners that once contained ozone-depleting refrigerants, without verifying that the refrigerant had been properly recovered prior to sale to Totall, in violation of regulations found at 40 CFR 82.156. EPA issued a Finding of Violation to Totall on March 8, 2013. The CAFO requires Totall to pay a penalty of $14,871.
