2 ISLE COMPANIES TO PAY EPA FINES
Two Hawai'i companies will each be required to pay $2,000 fines to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a result of chemical inventory reporting violations, the federal agency announced yesterday.
The EPA recently settled with Backhoe & Excavation Services Inc. of Kihei, Maui, and Rolloffs Hawaii Inc. of Honolulu. The two were cited for failing to submit their chemical inventory reports by the required deadline.
Keith Takata, director for the EPA Pacific Southwest region's Superfund Division, said the paperwork is important. "Chemical inventories inform workers, the community and first responders what chemicals may be present in case of an accidental spill," Takata said.
