Summary

On March 20, 2023, Region III filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order regarding three violations of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (:EPCRA ), 42 U.S.C. 11023, by Cleanedge, LLP ( Respondent ) in the manufacture of industrial soaps and detergents at its facility located at 3121 Wilmarco Drive, Baltimore, Maryland ( Facility ). This CAFO resolves violations discovered by EPA during an Compliance Evaluation Inspection of Respondent's Facility on April 7, 2022, to review compliance with EPCRA Section 313 reporting requirements. Because the company processes toxic chemicals in quantities above established thresholds, it has a statutory requirement to report the toxic chemicals for the benefit of the public including emergency responders that could be called to the Facility. During calendar years 2018 through 2020, the Facility processed the toxic chemical, nitric acid, in quantities above the required reporting threshold of 25,000 pounds without filing a Form R or Form A with both EPA and the State of Maryland as required by Section 313 of EPCRA and the associated federal regulations of 40 C.F.R. Part 372. Under the terms of the settlement, Respondent will pay a civil penalty in the amount of $18,871.00 to resolve these three violations of EPCRA Section 313 and the associated federal regulations of 40 C.F.R. Part 372. EPA contacted the State of Maryland regarding this matter, and the State has raised no objections.
