The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) and Parker Hannifin Corporation (“PHC”) entered into a July 19th Consent Order (“CO”) addressing alleged violations of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management hazardous waste regulations. See Consent Order No. 23-XXX-CHW.
The CO provides that PHC operates an instrument fitting manufacturing facility (“Facility”) in Boaz, Alabama.
The Facility is stated to:
- Hold an EPA Identification Number
- Constitute a large quantity generator of hazardous waste
- Constitute a small quantity handler of hazardous waste
- Constitute a used oil generator
Such terms are those as defined in Alabama Department of Environmental Management Admin. Code Div. 14.
Representatives of ADEM’s Industrial Hazardous Waste Branch are stated to have conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (“CEI”) on January 11th at the Facility.
The CEI allegedly identified the following:
- Storage of hazardous waste for more than 90 days without a permit or an extension
- Failure to submit a Notification of Regulated Waste Activity
- Storage of one container of universal waste lamps for more than one year
PHC neither admits nor denies ADEM’s contentions.
A civil penalty of $9,800 is assessed.
