On September 13, 2024, EPA Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement resolving violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) by Puget Sound Petroleum, Inc. located in Tacoma, Washington. Puget Sound Petroleum, Inc. owns and operates two facilities: one in Tacoma, Washington, and one in Bremerton, Washington, which failed to timely file the EPCRA 312 annual Tier II chemical inventory reports to the State Emergency Response Commission, the Local Emergency Planning Commission and the fire department with jurisdiction over the facilities. EPCRA 312 annual Tier II reporting supports emergency planning efforts at the state and local levels and provides the public and local governments with information concerning potential chemical hazards present in their communities. Both facilities are located in an area with significant EJ concerns. Puget Sound Petroleum, Inc. LLC agreed to pay a penalty of $5,000.
