Summit Brewing (The Respondent) is a brewery manufacturing a variety of alcoholic beers under the Summit brand. They employ 58 people and have annual sales of approximately $25 million. An EPCRA inspection was conducted at this facility on August 15, 2012. The facility stored hazardous chemicals greater than the reporting thresholds and failed to timely submit complete Tier II forms for calendar years 2011-2013. A Notice of Intent to file a Civil Administrative Complaint was issued on June 6, 2014. EPA originally calculated a $48,152 proposed penaly. The penalty included a 15% small business reduction. The penalty was further reduced for cooperation and settling before the complaint was filed. Summit has agreed to accept this CAFO , to pay a civil penalty of $7,825.00 and conduct a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) totaling $52,092.00. Summit will install a bulk caustic receiving/holding tank, including the necessary piping and safety system to safely transfer caustic product to areas of chemical use in the facility without the use of drums, forklifts, and pallet jacks. The project will significantly reduce the risk of a chemical spill involving the moving and transferring of chemicals.
