Summary

NOD issued 3/31/03 resolving self-disclosed multi-media violations by Temple University at 10 of its campuses in Philadelphia, Ambler and Bristol, Pennsylvania. Specifically, Temple violated: 112(r) of the Clean Air Act by failing to have a risk management plan for chlorine used and stored at its swimming pools; Sections 127.11 and 127.201 of the Pennsylvania Code and the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan as well as Section 113 of the Clean Air Act by operating three gas-fired boilers withut a permit; Sectrion 311 of the Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, by failing to have Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plans; Section 9004 and 9005 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act by failing to implement proper hazardous waste management practices; and Section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act by failing to compile annual logs of PCBs. EPA determined that the amount of economic benefit for such violations was insignificant. EPA further determined that Temple satisfied all nine criteria of the Self-Disclosure Policy, and, as documented in the NOD, waived 100 percent of the gravity-based civil penalty, which was calculated to be a maximum of $285,20
