Summary

On July 20, 2015, Region 10 settled with the North Slope Borough (Barrow, Alaska) for violations of RCRA. The implementing regulations of RCRA require entities that generate solid waste to determine if the waste is hazardous. EPA alleges that the North Slope Borough failed to perform hazardous waste determinations on at least five separate waste streams generated at the South Pad facility located on Nunavaaq Street in Barrow, Alaska, approximately 0.8 mile south-southwest of the Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport prior to November 5, 2012. In addition, EPA alleges that the Borough stored more than 45,000 pounds of hazardous waste on the South Pad without a storage permit required by Section 3005 of RCRA and 40 C.F.R. 270.1(c). The Borough agreed to pay a penalty of $445,336.
