On September 7, 2016, EPA Region 6 issued a Consent Agreement Final Order (CAFO) under its authority pursuant to CAA to FutureFuel Chemical Company located in Batesville, AR. The CAFO was issued in response to violations of the respondent failing to follow its own standard operating procedure, which resulted in the accidental release of a regulated substance. This failure released ethyl chloride to the ambient air. As provided in the CAFO, FutureFuel will have thirty (30) days from the effective date of the order to pay the civil penalty of $30,000, which is the economic benefit of noncompliance, and the seriousness of the violation.
