4 Lane Auto Salvage (4 Lane) accepted for recycling appliances and vehicles that used a Class I or Class II refrigerant without recovering the refrigerant or verifying via a compliant signed statement that the refrigerant had been properly recovered before delivery to 4 Lane for recycling. The violations were discovered during the inspection of the facility on May 5, 2014.
On September 15, 2014, EPA issued a Finding of Violation which alleged that 4 Lane failed to reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances as required by 40 C.F.R. Part 82, Subpart F.
The ACO will bring the 4 Lane facility into compliance with the Clean Air Act. The CAFO will require 4 Lane to pay a civil penalty of $2,125 and complete a supplemental environmental project for $6,375. Together, these two agreements will resolve the company?s alleged violations of the Clean Air Act.
