The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it has reached a settlement with Aerosols Danville, Inc. to resolve alleged violations of hazardous waste air emission regulations. Aerosols Danville, Inc. was formerly known as KIK Custom Products.
The settlement involves alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at the company’s facility south of Danville. Under terms of the agreement the company will address the alleged violations and pay a civil penalty of $175-thousand dollars to the federal government.
The EPA had alleged that Aerosols Danville violated the regulations by failing to monitor valves and pumps for leaks, maintain records, tag valves and flanges, inspect roof closures, and obtain a written tank assessment.
‘’EPA is committed to protecting communities by enforcing companies’ obligations to properly manage solid and hazardous waste,’’ said EPA Region 5 Acting Administrator Cheryl Newton.
The company is a beauty products production facility that generates spent ethanol.
