Compliance and Enforcement News Release (Region 1): N.H. Based Manufacturing Company Faces $125K Fine for Environmental Violations in South Hadley, Mass.

News Release
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
New England Regional Office
February 28, 2008

Contact: Paula Ballentine, (617) 918-1027


N.H. Based Manufacturing Company Faces $125K Fine for Environmental Violations in South Hadley, Mass.


(Boston, Mass. - Feb. 28, 2008) - A Hudson, New Hampshire-based company that manufactures digital plates for the printing industry faces a combined fine of $125,678 for environmental violations related to a chemical spill at the company's South Hadley, Mass. manufacturing facility.

In an administrative complaint filed recently, EPA alleges that Presstek Inc. violated the federal Clean Air Act and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), due to a 2006 chemical release at the manufacturing facility it owns and operates in South Hadley.

On Oct. 30, 2006, 751 pounds of hydrofluoric acid, an extremely hazardous chemical, were released to the environment through a ventilation fan in the Presstek facility at about 8:00 p.m. The release caused the evacuation of approximately 90 residents living within a one-mile radius of the facility and required that the South Hadley public schools be closed as a precautionary measure the following day.

Presstek did not notify the National Response Center of the release, as required by CERCLA. Following the release, an unidentified caller notified the South Hadley Police Department of a visible plume leaving the facility.

“Late notification of a toxic release to state and federal authorities makes it much more difficult for public health and safety officials to respond effectively,” said Robert Varney, regional administrator of EPA’s New England office. “Timely reporting is especially important for facilities such as this one, where toxic materials are stored at a relatively close proximity to a residential area.”

In addition, the EPA alleges that Presstek failed to design and maintain a safe facility and did not minimize the consequences of an accidental release, violating provisions of the Clean Air Act. Insufficient safety controls and operator error were the likely cause of the release.

Partnerships and Stewardship News Release (Region 1): New England Postal Facilities Help Boost EPA Performance Track Program Beyond 500-Member Mark

News Release

New England Postal Facilities Help Boost EPA Performance Track Program Beyond 500-Member Mark


(Boston, Mass. – Feb. 27, 2008) - Six additional United States Postal Service facilities in New England are joining more than 500 facilities nationwide that have made voluntary commitments to exceptional environmental practices under EPA’s National Environmental Performance Track program.

Performance Track members come from a wide range of sectors, such as automotive, paper, food processing, pharmaceuticals and government agencies. The new USPS members join 56 other New England facilities which are already Performance Track partners.

“EPA applauds the Postal Service - and all of our Performance Track partners - who are going above and beyond environmental requirements to produce real, measurable results," said Robert Varney, regional administrator for EPA’s New England office. "By committing to conservation today, these leading companies are helping shape a healthier, more prosperous tomorrow.”

The Northeast Region of the USPS has long had two charter members of Performance Track, located in Hartford, Conn. USPS now has the third largest population of Performance Track facilities of any multi-facility organization. The new USPS facilities in New England include; Central Square Post Office, Cambridge, Mass.; Bulk Mail Center and Processing and Distribution Center, Springfield, Mass.; Vehicle Maintenance Facility, Waterbury, Conn.; Processing and Distribution Facility, Portsmouth, N.H., Southern Connecticut Processing and Distribution Center, Wallingford, Conn.; and Vehicle Maintenance Facility, Manchester, N.H.

Performance Track recognizes facilities that have a strong record of environmental compliance, set three-year goals for continuous improvements in environmental performance beyond their legal requirements, have internal systems in place to manage their environmental impacts, engage in community outreach and consistently report results.

Since the 2000 launch of this facility-based program, Performance Track membership has grown to 538 members in 49 states and Puerto Rico, and those members have set more than 3,500 goals to benefit the environment in both regulated and unregulated areas. Through goals that have been set since the inception of the program, Performance Track members have reported greenhouse gas reductions of 310,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, reductions in nitrogen oxides of 13,000 tons, and reductions of hazardous waste of 52,000 tons.

Agricultural News Release (Region 1): New Englander Included in First-Ever EPA Agricultural Advisory Committee

News Release
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
New England Regional Office
February 28, 2008

Contact: Paula Ballentine, (617) 918-1027


 

New Englander Included in First-Ever EPA Agricultural Advisory Committee


(Boston, Mass. - Feb. 28, 2008) - Continuing efforts to strengthen relations with the agriculture community, EPA has named the new members of the first-ever Federal Agricultural Advisory Committee (FACA) - including a New England representative from the town of Methuen, Massachusetts.

The committee is an important part of EPA’s ongoing effort to strengthen relations with the agriculture community. It will advise EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson on environmental policy issues impacting farms, ranches, and rural communities, and will operate under the rules of the FACA. The first meeting of the committee will take place March 13 and 14, 2008 at The Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C.

"Agriculture is a crucial component of our society, and of our efforts to be good stewards of the nation's land, air and water," said Robert Varney, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "The new agricultural advisory committee will play an important role advising EPA."

The New England representative to the advisory committee, Dr. Richard Bonanno of Methuen, is a specialty crop producer who owns and operates a fresh market vegetable and greenhouse called Pleasant Valley Gardens. He also serves as a Senior Extension Specialist at the University of Massachusetts Extension with responsibilities for vegetable and small fruit weed management recommendations.

"As the sole representative from Region 1, I look forward to the opportunity to represent and discuss the many diverse agricultural issues within New England as well as the issues of specialty crop growers everywhere,” said Dr. Richard Bonanno. "I applaud the efforts of the Administrator to improve communications between EPA and the agricultural, forest, and rural communities. It is important that EPA weigh the needs of both producers and the environment, to protect the environment while still encouraging and sustaining domestic production of food and fiber."

Initially, EPA will ask the committee to focus on the following three issues:

-- How EPA's policies and regulations on climate change and renewable energy will affect the agriculture community. The agricultural industry -- through the development of renewable energy sources -- can play a significant role in the nation's ability to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and its dependence on oil imports.

-- An environmental strategy for managing waste from livestock operations that considers regulatory and voluntary approaches, and provides tools for producers to attain superior environmental performance.

-- Development of a constructive approach to advancing sustainable agriculture, protecting the environment, and addressing communication between environmental and agricultural interests.

Members were selected from a pool of more than 200 applicants generated from a request for nominations published Nov. 15 in the Federal Register. The new members represent: large and small farmers, ranchers, and rural communities; rural suppliers, marketers, and processors; academics and researchers who study environmental issues impacting agriculture; and, environmental and conservation groups.

The committee is being developed as part of a comprehensive National Agriculture Strategy that began in May of 2006. That strategy seeks to engage agriculture in cooperative, collaborative, and innovative ways, in addition to the traditional regulatory programs the agency administers.

Superfund and Brownfields News Release (Region 1): EPA Completes Cleanup of Freedom, Maine Warehouse

News Release
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
New England Regional Office
February 28, 2008

Contact Information: Jeanethe Falvey, 617.918.1020

EPA Completes Cleanup of Freedom, Maine Warehouse

(Boston, Mass. – February 28, 2008) – EPA has completed the successful removal of thousands of 5-gallon-or-smaller sized containers present at 28 Skidgel Lane in Freedom, Maine. $368,000 was spent to identify and properly dispose of a variety of substances, leftover from a family-run retail operation. The initial site inspections that led to this cleanup effort were a result of coordination between the U.S. EPA and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

Solvents, thinners, pesticides, herbicides and adhesives were found stored in significant quantities in a warehouse on the property as remnants left behind from the family business. The warehouse building was found to be dilapidated with unrestricted access and therefore it was determined that the containers of hazardous substances posed a risk to human health from potential exposure.

EPA site investigators found that the containers needed to be removed to prevent further exposure to harsh weather conditions, which would have increased the chances of container damage and accidental release into the environment. Nearby areas of concern included groundwater, nearby private wells, and Sandy Stream, a local fishing area.

Work began in early December of 2007 and was completed on schedule and within budget by mid-February 2008. By the completion, over 50 cubic-yard boxes had been filled with paints, adhesives, pesticides, chrome and metal cleaners as well as cement and wood stains. Over 10,000 pounds of paints and adhesives, 1,500 pounds of combustible or flammable liquids and 350 kilograms of PCBs were among the most significant hazardous categories removed from the Skidgel’s property. With the help of current property owners, EPA was able to locate likely areas of stored containers for appropriate removal.
