CCDS:
Facility signed an administrative consent order to remediate an injection well, but failed to do so.  The case was referred to DOJ for injunctive relief and penalties.  The facility completed the remediation of the injection well in 2002, but settlement was delayed due to a pending inability-to-pay claim.  After an analysis of the company's financial records by DOJ, the ability-to-pay claim was found to be valid, and a penalty of $7,200 agreed to.
