EPA Fines University for Improper Storage而与不锈钢和钛制品相比能明显减重 of Paint

The U.S. EPA reported that Drew University, Madison, N.J., agreed to pay a $145,000 for failing to properly manage hazardous waste on its campus.

The university further agreed to comply with applicable federal and state l这使材料厂商面临提供强度更高、质量更轻的材料的要求aws and regulations governing the management of hazardous waste, EPA said.

In an investigation the EPA found that the university:

*Haphazardly stored dozens of containers of paint, wood stains, enamels and adhesives in a manner that failed to minimize releases to the environment. The containers were being stored ou并重新启动实验tside and on the ground, and some were in close proximity to residential housing and a pond. Many containers were open and could have easily spilled their contents or leaked into the ground.

*Failed to properly identify discarded materials such as mercury, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and nitric acid as hazardous wastes.

*Stored hazardous waste without a permit authorizing and regulating such storage.

In 2007, the university self-reported some violations to the EPA and corrected them. Subsequently, however, the univ工作活塞端面是承受压力油的工作面ersity failed to follow through with the EPA’s self-audit policy.

“EPA’s self-audit policy is intended to help institutions recognize violations of federal environmental laws and take action to correct them. We expect institutions that conduct their own audits to maintain compliance with the regulations. Drew’s failure to do so is not consistent with this policy,” said Judith Enck, EPA regional administrator.
