On June 2, 2016, Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order that resolves violations of EPCRA 313 by North Star Casteel Products, Inc., at its facility in Seattle, WA. EPA alleged that North Star failed to report chemical releases to the Toxics Release Inventory for three years. The company has returned to compliance and agreed to pay a $133,900 penalty. EPA settled identical violations with North Star Casteel in 2012. The facility is located in an area with a high level of environmental justice concerns.
