Summary

Referred to DOJ for RCRA 3008A violations. Heritage-Crystal Clean, LLC (HCC) has agreed to terms of a proposed settlement that would resolve pending claims of the United States on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), and the State of Indiana for alleged violations of requirements governing management of hazardous waste, as well as a violation of used oil management requirements, at current or former HCC facilities located in Indianapolis, Indiana, Shreveport, Louisiana, Atlanta, Georgia, Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, and Denver, Colorado. Under the proposed settlement, HCC commits to pay civil penalties totaling $1,162,500 and to implement various measures to ensure that HCC facilities will not treat, store or dispose of used parts washing solvents that qualify as hazardous waste unless and until HCC receives a hazardous waste permit authorizing it to manage hazardous waste. Plaintiffs estimate that the compliance measures required under the proposed settlement will cost at least $1,628,502.
