On September 3, 2025, EPA Region 1's Regional Judicial Officer ratified an Expedited Settlement Agreement ( ESA ) with Veolia Water North America-Northeast, LLC, thereby resolving alleged violations of the Clean Air Act's Risk Management Program ( RMP ), promulgated pursuant to Section 112(r) of the Act, at the Lynn Water Treatment Facility in Lynn, MA. The facility utilizes chlorine in its water treatment process. As the operator of the facility, the company allegedly failed to develop and implement operating procedures relating to an emergency shutdown and failed to consider and document the impacts of changes made to the process according to its written procedures to manage changes. The ESA requires payment of total penalties of $4,800. Massachusetts is not delegated to implement this program.
