Summary

On February 22, 2018, Region 1 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with the City of Ansonia, Connecticut to resolve claims arising from an alleged violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the federal rules at 40 C.F.R. Part 761 regarding polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). On August 2, 2016, the City of Ansonia failed to properly prepare a hazardous waste manifest when it released about 500 gallons of PCB waste for off-site storage or disposal to an oil recycling firm. This manifesting violation led to the cross-contamination of over 4,500 gallons of used oil that could no longer be recycled but, instead, had to be disposed of as TSCA-regulated waste. Under the CAFO, the City will pay a penalty of $19,125 and certify that it is in current compliance with TSCA and the PCB regulations. The TSCA PCB program is not delegated.
