Summary

On November 18, 2021, EPA and CertainTeed LLC (CertainTeed), ultimately owned by the French company Saint-Gobain, settled an administrative penalty case for alleged violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). CertainTeed failed to timely file EPCRA Section 313 Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports for zinc compounds and chromium compounds for reporting years 2018, 2019, and 2020. CertainTeed filed its forms in September 2020 after being contacted by EPA. CertainTeed agreed to pay a settlement penalty of $104,572. EPCRA's TRI reporting program is a non-delegated federal program enforced only by EPA. According to EPA's EJSCREEN, the facility is not an area in which the environmental justice indices are at or above the 80th percentile in the United States.
