On November 2, 2022, EPA and Commonwealth Dairy, LLC settled an administrative penalty case for alleged violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). Commonwealth Dairy failed to timely file EPCRA Section 313 Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports for nitric acid and nitrate compounds for reporting years 2019 and 2020, and for peracetic acid for reporting year 2020. Commonwealth Dairy agreed to pay a settlement penalty of $92,100. EPCRA's TRI reporting program is a non delegated federal program enforced only by EPA. Enforcement of EPCRA's reporting requirements ensures that communities are not deprived of their right to know about chemical releases that may affect public health and the environment.
