The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and Multi-Flex Plating Company (“MFPC”) entered into a September 16th Consent Agreement (“CA”) addressing alleged violations of certain Clean Air Act regulations. See Docket No. CAA-03-2025-0133.
The CA provides that MFPC is the owner or operator of a electroplating facility located in Collingdale, Pennsylvania.
The facility is stated to engage in:
…cadmium, copper, nickel, tin, zinc and silver electroplating; sulfuric and chromic anodizing; electroless nickel plating; chromate conversion coating of aluminum; passivation of stainless steel and nickel acetate; and sodium dichromate sealing of anodize coatings.
On August 23, 2022, EPA is stated to have conducted an inspection of the facility to determine compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Further, the agency issued MFPC a Request for Information pursuant to Section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act, to which MFPC responded.
The CA alleges the following violations:
- Failure to Prepare and Retain Annual Compliance Status Reports for Tank N-18.
- Failure to Prepare and Retain Annual Certification of Compliance Reports for Tanks A-10, A16, A-18, E-7, E-12, L-12, N-20, and N-21.
EPA concluded that MFPC is unable, and therefore is not required, to pay any penalty in the matter.
