On May 3, 2017, EPA entered into an expedited settlement agreement with Mattingly Products LLC (Mattingly) of North Anson, Maine addressing violations of the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 112, promulgated under Section 311(j) of the Clean Water Act. An EPA Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) inspection at Mattingly revealed that the facility did not have a fully implemented SPCC plan. The purpose of the SPCC program is to prevent oil spills before they happen, thus the need for a properly prepared and implemented plan is critical to the success of the program. The settlement will ensure that Mattingly is implementing necessary precautions to reduce the occurrence and severity of oil spills at its facility. The SPCC program is a direct implementation program. Pursuant to the agreement, Mattingly will pay a $5,000 penalty.
