Summary

On March 17, 2017, EPA Region III entered a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with Bell Trucks America Inc. and Bell Equipment Limited (collectively Bell ) for violations of the Clean Air Act. Bell Equipment Limited is a manufacturer and Bell Trucks America Inc. an importer and distributor of articulated dump trucks. Since 2014, Bell imported 127 trucks with engines that were not EPA certified nor exempt at the time of importation. In addition, Bell imported 464 trucks without the required fuel inlet labeling for nonroad compression-ignition engines. Lastly, Bell submitted its 2015 annual report required under 40 C.F.R. ? 1039.625(g)(2) almost four months late. EPA discovered these violations during inspections at the Ports of Baltimore and Norfolk in April and May of 2016. A follow-up Information Request provided additional details regarding these compliance issues. EPA and Bell have agreed to resolve Bell?s liability for these violations through a cash penalty of $478,000. Contact: Erin Malone, 215-814-2190; Amelie Isin, 215-814-2160.
