Summary

The Respondent, Emulsions, Inc., owns and operates an asphalt blending and storage terminal in Lawrenceville, Illinois. On August 13, 2013, an information request was sent to evaluate respondent's compliance with the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations at 40 CFR Part 112. A review of the facility's response and subsequent review of the facility's SPCC and FRP plans identified numerous violations of the Part 112 regulations. Respondent did not have an FRP prior to the date of the information request, had several deficiencies with the plans submitted with the information request response, and had inadequate permanent containment for its loading racks. On January 16,, 2014, a Notive of Violation was issued to respondent. By April, 2014, Respondent completed work to add secondary containment to the loading rack, reworked their SPCC and FRP plans to be in compliance. On July 28, 2014, USEPA sent Respondent a Pre-filing notice that it planned to bring an administrative action for the alleged violations and proposed a penalty of $115,446.00. A settlement was reached via this CAFO where Respondent agreed to pay a penalty of $26,238.00 to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, and expend at least $175,000.00 to complete a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) that reduces the likelihood of a discharge from the facility, as outlined in this CAFO.
