Summary
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 5, is providing notice of intent to execute a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with Elgiloy Specialty Metals (“Respondent”) for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act (CWA). EPA alleges that from approximately 2019 through 2023, Respondent violated the pretreatment requirement at 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(e)(1), and therefore Section 307(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), because it did not submit to EPA a periodic compliance report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent it discharged from the facility to the City of Sycamore publicly owned treatment works (POTW) which are limited by the categorical pretreatment standards for the Non-Ferrous Metals Forming/Metal Powders Point Source Category at 40 C.F.R. Part 4 71, in violation of the Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1311.
EPA and Respondent have agreed that Respondent will pay a civil penalty of $32,028.32. Full payment of the penalty will resolve Respondent’s liability for federal civil penalties for the violation alleged in the CAFO.
