On November 20, 2023, EPA Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement resolving violations of the Industrial Stormwater General Permit by Ron and Leo's Welding Services, located in Enumclaw, Washington. Ron Hardersen is the owner and operator of the facility and failed to obtain permit coverage. This action brings an unpermitted industrial facility into compliance and by implementing a pollution control plan, the facility will reduce or eliminate the amount of metals and oil entering nearby surface waters. The Respondent has agreed to pay a penalty of $1,250 and has returned to compliance. The estimated cost of injunctive relief is $5,000. This facility is located in an area with potential environmental justice concerns, with multiple indices above the 80% threshold.
