RCRA VIOLATIONS
Prevent violations by all means possible
- Do not store hazardous waste beyond the allowed accumulation time (e.g., 90 days without proper authorization).
- Ensure accurate labeling, classification, and container management of all hazardous waste.
- Maintain complete and up-to-date manifests and compliance records.
ESTIMATED RCRA VIOLATION COSTS
Violation-associated cost could hurt your business
- One missed requirement (like improper storage) can result in EPA or state penalties reaching $250,000+, even if the fix was inexpensive.
- Violations often lead to enforcement actions, site audits, or shutdowns, slowing operations and damaging productivity.
- Repeat violations can affect your public image, insurance costs, and eligibility for government contracts.
Avoiding Costly Mistakes: A Real-World Example
In 2024, Edward Lifesciences, LLC faced a $250,000 federal penalty following an EPA enforcement action under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The case, identified as RCRA-09-2024-0099, was a formal administrative enforcement due to non-compliance.
What’s alarming is that the compliance fix only cost $5,000—yet because it wasn’t addressed proactively, the company ended up with a 50x greater penalty.
This case underscores the importance of proactive environmental compliance. A simple oversight led to a formal case and a hefty fine—something that could have been avoided with routine audits and preventive action.
Moral of the story: spend $5K now to ensure compliance, or risk spending $250K (or more) later dealing with enforcement, reputational damage, and legal fees.
