On July 2, 2016, Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order with MicroConnex for settlement of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) violations at their facility in Snoqualmie, Washington. The violations involved treatment and storage of hazardous plating waste waters without a permit and mismanagement of waste fluorescent lamps. The company agreed to pay a penalty of $19,145 and complete a supplemental environmental project (SEP) costing at least $53,264. The SEP involves recovering copper from the waste water stream prior to it entering the waste water treatment system.
