Summary

On November 2, 2022, Region 10 filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement with Fairbanks Memorial Hospital to address Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) violations at its facility in Fairbanks, Alaska, which is in a census-block area with EJ considerations at the regional level. The violations involve failure to accumulate hazardous waste on-site for less than 270 days, failure to mark or label containers of hazardous waste with a hazard indicator, failure to keep containers of hazardous waste closed, failure to mark or label containers of hazardous waste as hazardous waste, failure to meet the standards for containers used to accumulate non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at healthcare facilities, failure to label or clearly mark containers used to accumulate non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at healthcare facilities, failure to accumulate universal waste for no longer than one year, and failure to make a hazardous waste determination. Under the terms of the Agreement, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital certified it has corrected the RCRA violations and paid a civil penalty of $11,250.
