On September 25, 2020, Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order to resolve Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit violations by Chemical Waste Management of the
Northwest, Inc. at their Arlington, OR facility. This RCRA treatment, storage and disposal facility
receives hazardous waste from a variety of generators, and the permit required compliance with third
party liability financial assurance requirements. Previous insurance policies did not provide adequate
coverage for third party bodily injury and property damage claims. The company agreed to pay a
penalty of $25,000.
