U.S. EPA Region 5 issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) to Roane Metals Group (RMG) to resolve violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA alleged that RMG accepted for recycling small appliances, such as refrigerators and room air conditioners, and motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs) that contained or once contained ozone-depleting refrigerants, without either recovering the refrigerant from the small appliances or MVAC, or verifying that the refrigerant had been properly recovered prior to sale to RMG, in violation of regulations found at 40 CFR 82.156. EPA issued a Finding of Violation to RMG on September 15, 2014. The CAFO requires RMG to pay a penalty of $37,500.
