Summary

On May 28, 2015, the Final Order was entered. On April 8, 2015, the Eastern Division, Northern Illinois District of the United States Department of Justice lodged a consent decree and amended complaint In re: United States v. Beaver Oil Co. Inc. (Case: 1:13-cv-00830). The case began with a multimedia inspection in April 2004, part of the Clean Water Act (CWA) Centralized Waste Treatment initiative in Region 5. Defendant Beaver Oil Co. Inc. does not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement. Region 5 referred to U.S. DOJ violations of the discharge authorization (under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System program of the CWA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) used oil and hazardous waste regulations. The RCRA violations concerned analysis of hazardous waste upon receipt (compatibility testing), failing to track hazardous waste through the plant using manifest numbers, adequate waste determinations on hazardous waste treatment residue and mixture with used oil, hazardous waste management in unpermitted units and the operating record. Beaver Oil Co. Inc's state RCRA permit and the decree requires an operating record to track hazardous waste movement, using manifest numbers, through the facility. As of April 13, 2015, the Federal Register notice of lodging had not been published. Beaver Oil Co. Inc. will pay a penalty of $250,000 under the Consent Decree.
