Clean Water

1. Proposed National Rulemaking to Strengthen the Stormwater Program
EPA has initiated a national rulemaking to establish a program to reduce stormwater discharges from new development and redevelopment and make other regulatory improvements to strengthen its stormwater program. This website provides information on two activities related to this proposed rulemaking:

• Information Collection Request (ICR) for Proposed Rulemaking

• Stakeholder Input on Proposed Rulemaking

EPA is requesting comments on the proposed Information Collection Request, including the associated burden estimate, but is NOT requesting completion of questionnaires at this time. The proposed ICR will be open for public comment for 30 days following publication in the Federal Register (comments must be submitted on or before June 9, 2010).

Comments must be submitted to the docket at www.regulations.gov , Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2009-0817 on or before June 9, 2010.

2. Dolberry Energy Resource Corp. Fined for Violating the Clean Water Act
EPA has fined Dolberry Energy Resource Corp. of Dallas, Texas, $1,000 for violating federal Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations outlined under the Clean Water Act.

A federal inspection of an onshore oil production facility located near Brookshire in Waller County, Texas, found no evidence of an SPCC plan for the facility. SPCC regulations require certain onshore oil production and bulk storage facilities provide oil spill prevention, preparedness and responses to prevent oil discharges. As part of an Expedited Settlement Agreement with EPA, the facility has provided certification that an SPCC plan has been prepared for the facility and certified by a professional engineer.

Additional information on SPCC regulations is available at http://www.epa.gov/oilspill

3. EPA Launches Online Map Tracking Enforcement Actions in Chesapeake Bay Watershed
EPA has launched an online map that shows the locations of federal air and water enforcement actions in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The map is part of EPA's increased focus on enforcement of federal pollution laws in the Chesapeake Bay region, including a new strategy of targeting geographic areas and pollution sources contributing the greatest amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment to streams, creeks, rivers and the bay.

EPA developed the Chesapeake Bay Compliance and Enforcement Strategy to target the greatest sources of pollution impairing the bay and its tributaries. The draft strategy is a multi-state plan for addressing violations of federal environmental laws, and will be finalized in May as part of the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order.

4. Coles Evergreen Marina Fined for Violating the Clean Water Act
EPA has fined Coles Evergreen Marina of Stigler, Oklahoma, $1,450 for violating federal Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations outlined under the Clean Water Act.

A federal inspection of the Marina's bulk storage facility located in Haskell County, Oklahoma, revealed the facility did not have an SPCC plan and inspections and tests required by federal regulations were not in accordance with written procedures developed for the facility. Personnel working at the site had no training on the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges, discharge procedure protocols, and applicable pollution control laws, rules and regulations. The inspection also found spill prevention briefings were not scheduled and conducted periodically, the facility was not fully fenced and entrance gates were not locked and/or guarded when site is unattended, and facility lighting was not adequate to facilitate the discovery of spills during hours of darkness and to deter vandalism. As part of an Expedited Settlement Agreement with EPA, the facility has provided certification that all identified deficiencies have been corrected.

Additional information on SPCC regulations is available at http://www.epa.gov/oilspill

5. Automotive & Industrial Distributors of Pocatello agrees to spend over $38,000 to settle EPA spill prevention violations
Automotive & Industrial Distributors has agreed to pay EPA a $38,500 penalty for violations of the Clean Water Act requirements related to the prevention of oil spills. The alleged violations occurred at an oil storage and distribution facility operated by A&I, in Pocatello, Idaho.

According to documents in the case, EPA alleges that A&I violated federal Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) regulations, as specified under the Clean Water Act. During an EPA inspection of the A&I facility in September 2008, inspectors observed several violations of these regulations, most notably the failure to prepare and implement an adequate SPCC Plan.

Clean Air

1. Battery Manufacturer in Corydon, Iowa, to Pay $53,547 Penalty for Failure to Monitor and Report Wastewater Discharges
East Penn LLC, which operates a lead acid battery manufacturing facility in Corydon, Iowa, has reached a settlement with EPA Region 7 over issues related to the company's failure to properly monitor and report discharges of its industrial process wastewater into the City of Corydon's public wastewater treatment system.

East Penn LLC has agreed to pay a $53,547 civil penalty to the United States in settlement of alleged violations of the Clean Water Act, according to an administrative consent agreement filed today in Kansas City, Kan.

In July 2009, during a compliance inspection of the City of Corydon's public wastewater treatment system, EPA staff discovered that East Penn LLC's facility was discharging industrial process wastewater to the city's system. At that time, the company had never applied for a water pretreatment permit from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), and the city confirmed that the company was not conducting proper monitoring or reporting of wastewater discharges to ensure that the battery plant was in compliance with the Clean Water Act.

2. EPA Awards Half a Million Dollars to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Pollution in Central New York
EPA has provided a half million dollar grant to the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board to fund a project designed to reduce greenhouse gas pollution in Central New York, including Cayuga, Cortland, Madison, Onondaga and Oswego Counties. During each of the next three years, the planning board will select three communities within Central New York to participate in its project, called the Central New York Climate Change Innovation program. The winning local communities will receive sub-grants from the Central New York Planning and Development Board to develop plans to retrofit vehicles, buildings and other equipment to make them energy efficient; introduce alternative-fuel vehicles and fueling systems; reduce the miles their fleets travel; and conduct feasibility studies for renewable energy projects. They will also consider how their city planning and land use policies can become more sustainable. Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board's greenhouse gas reduction program is one of only twenty-five projects in the entire nation to receive funding as part of EPA's $10 million competitive grant Climate Showcase Communities program.

Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. In the U.S., energy-related activities account for three-quarters of our human-generated greenhouse gas emissions, mostly in the form of carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. The Central New York Climate Change Innovation program will improve the quality of life of Central New York's 782,000 residents by reducing GHG by 2,400 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, a metric for determining GHG emission rates for any combination of the principal greenhouse gases, and by achieving energy savings of 36,000 megawatt-hours.

The national EPA Climate Showcase Communities program helps local governments establish and manage initiatives that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to selecting the sub-grant winners, the regional planning and development board will provide technical assistance through education programs and outreach to local government staff. The program is specifically designed to help the underserved by giving priority to support at least one community that suffers a disproportionate environmental impact, and one small-sized community with a population under 10,000.

Communities that are selected will be required to develop a climate protection plan, apply for technical assistance through programs offered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and receive training on no-cost evaluation tools such as ENERGYSTAR's Portfolio Manager. The program will encourage these governments to adopt community planning controls to reduce GHG pollution from local residents, businesses, and institutions. Another important component will be the creation of a Municipal Energy Planning Guide to highlight case studies of projects funded through the sub-grants.

An additional $10 million in funding for this program nationwide is now available. Proposals are due by July 26, 2010. A list of current Climate Change Showcase Communities and profiles of each recipient is available at: http://www.epa.gov/statelocalclimate/local/showcase

3. PEP BOYS AGREE TO PAY $5 MILLION TO RESOLVE CLEAN AIR ACT VIOLATIONS CLAIMS / Largest importation case in Clean Air Act history
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack - have agreed to take corrective measures and pay $5 million in civil penalties to settle claims that it violated the Clean Air Act by importing and selling motorcycles, recreational vehicles and generators manufactured in China that do not comply with environmental requirements. Baja, Inc., which supplied the non-compliant vehicles to Pep Boys, is also settling with the U.S.

This is the largest vehicle and engine importation case brought by the United States to date under the Clean Air Act, both in number of vehicles and engines imported and penalty paid. The complaint, filed simultaneously with the settlement in federal court in the District of Columbia, alleges that Pep Boys and Baja imported and sold at least 241,000 illegal vehicles and engines from 2004 through 2009.

More information on the settlement: www.epa.gov/compliance/resources/cases/civil/caa/pepboys.html

4. North America Collaborates to Reduce and Replace Potent Greenhouse Gases / Canada, Mexico work with U.S. to strengthen measures to fight climate change
Canada and Mexico have joined the United States in proposing to expand the scope of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer to fight climate change. The proposal would phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are a significant and rapidly growing contributor to climate change. EPA led the analysis in the proposal, which demonstrates environmental benefits equal to removing greenhouse gas emissions from 59 million passenger cars each year through 2020, and 420 million cars each year through 2050. Reducing HFCs would help slow climate change and curb potential public health impacts.

The public is encouraged to provide comments to docket number EPA-HQ-2009-0286 at: http://www.regulations.gov/ For more information on the trilateral proposal: http://www.epa.gov/ozone/intpol/mpagreement.html and for more information on the four replacement chemicals: http://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/

5. EPA Issues Report on U.S. Climate Change Indicators
An EPA report entitled, Climate Change Indicators in the United States, looks at 24 key indicators that show how climate change impacts the health and environment of the nation's citizens. Some of the key findings include that:

• Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are increasing. Between 1990 and 2008, there has been about a 14 percent increase in emissions in the United States.

• Average temperatures are rising. Seven of the top 10 warmest years on record for the continental United States have occurred since 1990.

The information included in this report will help inform future policy decisions and will help evaluate the success of climate change efforts. The data used in this report were collected by several government agencies, academic institutions, and other stakeholder organizations. As new data and information become available, EPA will update and broaden the indicators in future reports.

Information about the Climate Change Indicators report: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/indicators.html

6. EPA Releases Public Database on Risk Assessments
EPA released the Health and Environmental Research Online (HERO) database that provides access to the scientific studies used in making key regulatory decisions, including EPA's periodic review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants. It is part of the open government directive to conduct business with transparency, participation, and collaboration.

The publically accessible HERO database provides an easy way to review the scientific literature behind EPA science assessments, which are used to support agency decision-making. The database includes more than 300,000 scientific articles including the authors, titles, dates, and abstracts. In addition, through a simple keyword search, anyone can see information from the articles that were used to develop specific risk assessments.

7. DOT, EPA Set National Standards for Fuel Economy and First Ever Greenhouse Gas Emission Levels For Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
DOT and EPA have jointly established new federal rules that set the first-ever national greenhouse gas emissions standards and will significantly increase the fuel economy of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the United States. The rules could potentially save the average buyer of a 2016 model year car $3,000 over the life of the vehicle and, nationally, will conserve about 1.8 billion barrels of oil and reduce nearly a billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the lives of the vehicles covered.

DOT and EPA received more than 130,000 public comments on the September 2009 proposed rules, with overwhelming support for the strong national policy. Manufacturers will be able to build a single, light-duty national fleet that satisfies all federal requirements as well as the standards of California and other states. The collaboration of federal agencies also allows for clearer rules for all automakers, instead of three standards (DOT, EPA, and a state standard).

The final rules, issued by DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and EPA, establish increasingly stringent fuel economy standards under NHTSA's Corporate Average Fuel Economy program and greenhouse gas emission standards under the Clean Air Act for 2012 through 2016 model-year vehicles.

Starting with 2012 model year vehicles, the rules together require automakers to improve fleet-wide fuel economy and reduce fleet-wide greenhouse gas emissions by approximately five percent every year. NHTSA has established fuel economy standards that strengthen each year reaching an estimated 34.1 mpg for the combined industry-wide fleet for model year 2016.

Because credits for air-conditioning improvements can be used to meet the EPA standards, but not the NHTSA standards, the EPA standards require that by the 2016 model-year, manufacturers must achieve a combined average vehicle emission level of 250 grams of carbon dioxide per mile. The EPA standard would be equivalent to 35.5 miles per gallon if all reductions came from fuel economy improvements.

Specifically, the new National Program:

• Reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 960 million metric tons over the lifetime of the vehicles regulated, equivalent to taking 50 million cars and light trucks off the road in 2030.
• Conserves about 1.8 billion barrels of oil over the lifetime of the vehicles regulated.
• Enables the average car buyer of a 2016 model year vehicle to enjoy a net savings of $3,000 over the lifetime of the vehicle, as upfront technology costs are offset by lower fuel costs

NHTSA and EPA expect automobile manufacturers will meet these standards by more widespread adoption of conventional technologies that are already in commercial use, such as more efficient engines, transmissions, tires, aerodynamics, and materials, as well as improvements in air conditioning systems. Although the standards can be met with conventional technologies, EPA and NHTSA also expect that some manufacturers may choose to pursue more advanced fuel-saving technologies like hybrid vehicles, clean diesel engines, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and electric vehicles.

In conjunction with the United States, Canada is also announcing Light Duty Vehicle GHG-Emissions regulations today. U.S. EPA and NHTSA have worked closely with Environment Canada to ensure a common North American approach.

8. Cummins Inc. Agrees to Pay $2.1 Million Penalty for Diesel Engine Clean Air Act Violations

EPA and the Justice Department have announced that Cummins Inc., a major motor vehicle engine company based in Columbus, Ind., will pay a $2.1 million penalty and recall 405 engines under a settlement agreement resolving violations of the Clean Air Act.

According to a complaint filed simultaneously with the settlement in federal court in the District of Columbia, between 1998 and 2006, Cummins shipped more than 570,000 heavy duty diesel engines to vehicle equipment manufacturers nationwide without pollution control equipment included, in violation of the Clean Air Act. This equipment, known as exhaust after-treatment devices (ATDs), controls engine exhaust emissions once the emissions have exited the engine and entered the exhaust system. Typical ATDs include catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.

Engine manufacturers must prove through testing that their engine designs meet EPA's emissions standards and seek certificates of conformity. According to the complaint, Cummins tested the engines with the ATDs to meet the standards, but failed to include the ATDs with the engines when Cummins shipped the engines to the vehicle manufacturers. Instead, Cummins relied upon the vehicle manufacturers to purchase and install the correct ATDs. The United States alleges that the shipment of engines to vehicle manufacturers without the ATDs violates the Clean Air Act's prohibition on the sale of engines not covered by certificates of conformity.

The settlement requires Cummins to recall approximately 405 engines that were found to have reached the ultimate consumers without the correct ATDs in order to install the correct ATDs.

EPA estimates that Cummins actions resulted in approximately 167 excess tons of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon emissions, and 30 excess tons of particulate matter emissions over the lifetime of the non-conforming engines. Cummins will mitigate the effects of excess emissions from its non-conforming engines through permanent retirement of emission credits equal to the excess tons of pollution.

The State of California Air Resources Board will receive $420,000 of the civil penalty under a separate settlement agreement with Cummins, continuing a federal government practice of sharing civil penalties with states that participate in clean air enforcement actions.

Scrap Tires

1. Ohio EPA Helps Clean Up Nearly 7,000 Scrap Tires
Ohio EPA helped clean up and recycle 6,780 scrap tires at 10 illegal dumps in Gallia, Jackson, Meigs and Vinton counties in January. Funding for the cleanups came from Ohio's Scrap Tire Management Fund, which is comprised of a $1 fee collected on new tires sold in Ohio. Ohio EPA's Scrap Tire Management Program oversees the state-financed cleanup of tire piles in Ohio that pose the most significant threats to human health, public safety and the environment. If not properly managed, scrap tire piles may harbor rats and become a prime breeding ground for dangerous disease-carrying
mosquitoes. Tire dumps also can spawn dangerous fires that produce noxious smoke and oils.

If a landowner fails to remove scrap tires at larger sites, Ohio EPA can hire a contractor to remove the tires, and the owner will be required to reimburse the Agency's costs. For sites with 100 to 2,000 scrap tires, Ohio EPA's Scrap Tire Management Program invites eligible landowners to voluntarily participate in a Consensual Scrap Tire Removal Agreement. As part of this agreement, the state undertakes the collection, removal and proper disposal of up to 2,000 scrap tires of any size and other solid wastes at a property at no cost to the property owner. Ohio EPA hires contractors and often partners with local health departments to clean up the tires. Participating landowners sign an agreement, stating that they either inherited the property with scrap tires on it or were the victim of open dumping.

Toxic Chemicals

1. EPA Adds More Than 6,300 Chemicals and 3,800 Chemical Facilities to Public Database
EPA has added more than 6,300 chemicals and 3,800 chemical facilities regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to a public database called Envirofacts.

The Envirofacts database is EPA's single point of access on the Internet for information about environmental activities that may affect air, water and land in the U.S and provides tools for analyzing the data.  It includes facility name and address information, aerial image of the facility and surrounding area, map location of the facility, and links to other EPA information on the facility, such as EPA's inspection and compliance reports that are available through the Enforcement Compliance History Online (ECHO) database. EPA is also adding historic facility information for another 2,500 facilities.
More information on Envirofacts: http://www.epa.gov/enviro/facts/tsca/index.html
More information about EPA's efforts on increasing transparency on chemical information: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/enhanchems.html   

2. EPA Opens Access to Chemical Information/Searchable database on chemical hazard, exposure and toxicity data now available
EPA is releasing a database, called ToxRefDB, which allows scientists and the interested public to search and download thousands of toxicity testing results on hundreds of chemicals. ToxRefDB captures 30 years and $2 billion of testing results.

ToxRefDB provides detailed chemical toxicity data in an accessible format. It is a part of ACToR (Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource), an online data warehouse that collects data from about 500 public sources on tens of thousands of environmentally relevant chemicals, including several hundred in ToxRefDB. Those interested in chemical toxicity can query a specific chemical and find all available public hazard, exposure, and risk-assessment data, as well as previously unpublished studies related to cancer, reproductive, and developmental toxicity.

ToxRefDB connects to an EPA chemical screening tool called ToxCast. ToxCast is a multi-year, multi-million dollar effort that uses advanced science tools to help understand biological processes impacted by chemicals that may lead to adverse health effects. ToxCast currently includes 500 fast, automated chemical screening tests that have assessed over 300 environmental chemicals. ToxRefDB, along with ACToR, allows users to take advantage of this linkage to find and download these results.

ToxRefDB contains toxicity information that forms the basis for pesticide risk assessments when combined with other sources of information, such as those on exposure and metabolism.

For more information on the database: http://actor.epa.gov/toxrefdb

3. EPA Proposes Adding More Chemicals to Toxics Release Inventory List - First program chemical expansion in more than a decade
EPA is proposing to add 16 chemicals to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) list of reportable chemicals, the first expansion of the program in more than a decade. Established as part of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), TRI is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and waste management activities reported annually by certain industries as well as federal facilities.
EPA has concluded, based on a review of available studies, that these chemicals could cause cancer in people. The purpose of the proposed addition to TRI reporting requirements is to inform the public about chemical releases in their communities and to provide the government with information for research and potential development of regulations.

Four of the chemicals are being proposed for addition to TRI under the polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) category. The PACs category includes chemicals that are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) and are likely to remain in the environment for a very long time. These chemicals are not readily destroyed and may build up or accumulate in body tissue.

The TRI, established as part of the EPCRA of 1986, contains information on nearly 650 chemicals and chemical groups from about 22,000 industrial facilities in the U.S. Congress enacted EPCRA to provide the public with additional information on toxic chemicals in their communities.

EPA will accept public comments on the proposal for 60 days after it appears in the Federal Register.

For a list of the 16 chemicals: http://www.epa.gov/tri/lawsandregs/ntp_chemicals/index.html

Hazardous Waste

1. EPA Expands Public Participation on Hazardous Waste Cleanup
EPA has launched an initiative to help communities more effectively participate in government decisions related to land cleanup, emergency preparedness and response, and the management of hazardous substances and waste.  The Community Engagement Initiative (CEI) plan lays out specific steps EPA is taking to provide communities with better information and opportunities to understand and influence decisions on environmental cleanups. The purpose of the plan is to present guiding principles, goals and actions to enhance EPA's relationships with communities from across the country while protecting human health and the environment.

Because many of EPA's programs are delegated to states, EPA will seek a cooperative effort with state and local governments to better coordinate resources and efforts on this initiative. 

The plan is intended to be a working document and specific actions will be refined with ongoing feedback from communities and other stakeholders. EPA invites public comment on the plan, will frequently evaluate the initiative's progress and results, and will regularly post this information on the agency's Web site.

More information on the CEI and to comment on the plan:  http://www.epa.gov/oswer/engagementinitiative

2. EPA Withdraws Emission Comparable Fuels Rule
EPA has withdrawn the Emission Comparable Fuels (ECF) Rule, a rule that was finalized in December 2008. The rule sought to remove regulatory costs by reclassifying fuels that would otherwise be regulated as hazardous waste, but generate emissions similar to fuel oil when burned.

EPA has now withdrawn the rule due to difficulty of ensuring that emissions from burning ECF are comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil.

The ECF rule was criticized for potentially allowing hazardous waste to evade the hazardous waste regulatory system, and for being difficult to administer. Industry members have also criticized it because of the detailed conditions for reclassification, which they believe will limit the rule's use.

More information on the rule: http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/tsd/td/combust/compfuels/exclusion.htm

3. Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc., to Pay $150,000 Penalty for Hazardous Waste Issues at Kimball, Neb., Facility
Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc., an international provider of environmental, energy and industrial services, has agreed to pay a $150,000 civil penalty to the United States to settle a series of alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations at its hazardous waste treatment and storage facility in Kimball, Neb.

Inspections of the facility by EPA in September 2007 and by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality in April 2008 noted a series of alleged violations of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which regulates the storage, treatment and handling of hazardous wastes.

Those alleged violations included the presence of several open, unlabeled and leaking hazardous waste containers; storage of different hazardous wastes in proximity that could cause chemical reactions; failure to minimize the potential for release of hazardous waste to the environment; failure to make hazardous waste determinations on two containers of waste; failure to insure the integrity of a secondary containment structure; failure to properly manage a container of received waste; and improper emissions control of hazardous waste tanks.
