On July 31, 2017 Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order that resolves violations of EPCRA 313 by Vanguard EMS at its facility in Beaverton, OR. EPA alleged that Vanguard EMS failed to report its releases of lead for two years, thus depriving the public of timely and accurate data. TRI data support informed decision-making by communities, government agencies, companies, and others. The company has returned to compliance and agreed to pay a $21,900 penalty.
