## Summary

On January 7, 2020, the Regional Judicial Officer entered a Final Order ratifying a Consent Agreement between EPA and Gelest, Inc. ( Respondent ) in settlement of RCRA Subtitle C violations at the Respondent's specialty chemicals facility located in Morrisville, Pennsylvania ( Facility ).  Gelest's activities are regulated under RCRA Subtitle C because the Facility generates hazardous waste in the form of waste solvents and universal waste lamps.  The Consent agreement resolves the following alleged violations:  (1) operating Facility without a permit or interim status; (2) failure to keep satellite accumulation containers near the point of generation or under the control of the operator; (3)  failure to keep containers of hazardous waste closed; (4) failure to make hazardous waste determinations; and (5) failure to post  No Smoking  signs where ignitable wastes were stored at the Facility.  Under the terms of the settlement, Respondent will pay a $13,950 civil penalty.  The Consent Agreement commences and resolves EPA's claims in this matter.  EPA informed PADEP of this action and received no objections.
