On December 21, 2006, EPA issued a Notice of Determination ( NOD ) based on self-disclosures provided by greer industries, inc. ( Greer ) for violations of Secton 313 of EPCRA at Greer Lime Company, a division of Greer Industries, Inc., located on Route 33, Riverton, West Virginia 2684.
by letters dated June 30, 2006 and August 10, 2006 to EPA, Greer disclosed that it had failed to sumit Toxic Release Inventory Forms ( Form Rs ) for mercury and hydrochloric acid (aerosol) for calendar years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 and for lead compounds for calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. The total gravity-based civil penalty for these violations would be $319,888. Since Greer satisfied all of the conditions of EPA's Self-Disclosure Policy and the amount of economic benefit gained was insignificant, EPA waived the gravity-based civil penalty for the disclosed violations.
