EPA is entering into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with Freerksen Trucking, Inc. (Freerksen), a trucking and transport company. The CAFO will resolve violations of Section 203(a)(3)(A) of the Clean Air Act for Freerksen's alleged removal or tampering with emission control systems on 22 heavy-duty diesel trucks within their own fleet.
This CAFO requires Freerksen to pay a penalty of $50,000. It is estimated that this settlement will result in a 15 tons per year reduction of nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon emissions.
