EPA Region 1 entered into an Expedited Settlement Agreement ('ESA') with General Polymer, Inc. of Central Falls, Rhode Island, for alleged violations of Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (?EPCRA?). The ESA penalty was calculated under a national expedited settlement program, which is intended to apply to relatively minor, easily correctable EPCRA violations. The company will pay a penalty of $5,000 and has certified that it has corrected the violations.
