The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Metal Management West Inc. have entered into a consent agreement under which Metal Management will pay a $75,000 penalty for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act’s program to prevent releases of ozone depleting chemicals at its Salt Lake City, Utah, facility.
The agreement resolves a complaint EPA filed alleging Metal Management disposed of equipment containing ozone depleting chemicals without first verifying that the dangerous chemicals had been removed before it took final action.
EPA alleged that between April 2004 and September 2006, Metal Management accepted appliances and motor vehicles without verification that the refrigerant had been properly evacuated in accordance with the EPA regulations.
