On July 22, 2021 EPA Region 1 and Cargill, Incorporated (Cargill) settled an administrative penalty case for an alleged violation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to-Know Act (EPCRA) that occurred at Cargill's facility in Swanton, Vermont. EPA alleged that Cargill failed to timely file EPCRA Section 313 Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports for manganese and zinc processed in calendar year 2018. Cargill has now filed the late reports. Cargill agreed to pay a settlement penalty of $40,294. EPCRA's TRI reporting program is a non-delegated federal program enforced only by EPA. Enforcement of EPCRA's TRI reporting requirements ensures that communities are not deprived of their right to know about chemicals used or stored within their vicinity that may affect public health or the environment.
