JEGS is a retail automobile parts business located in Columbus, Ohio. EPA alleged that JEGS knowingly sold at least 1,892 parts
or components intended for use with, or as part of, a motor vehicle engine, where the principal effect of the part or component was to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative elements of design of those engines, in violation Section 203(a)(3)(B) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. ?7522(a)(3)(B). In the CAFO, JEGS certifies that it is complying fully with Section 203 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C.?7522. JEGS also agrees to post a notice of the settlement on its websites. JEGS will pay a penalty of $300,000 in consideration of the factors specified in Section 205(c) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. ? 7524, and EPA?s CAA Title II Vehicle and Engine Civil Penalty Policy (January 18, 2021). JEGS will also perform a $275,000 diesel emission reduction supplemental environmental project that will replace three aging City of Columbus School District school buses in areas of environmental justice concern with buses featuring modern air pollution controls. While enforcement of Title II of the CAA is not delegated to the states, the State of Ohio was notified of this matter.
