Coatings Company Agrees to Address Violations Under EPA Audit Program
The EPA said Pan Chemical has agreed to make $70,000 in operational improvements as the result of the company’s voluntary disclosure of environmental violations.
NEW YORK — The EPA said Pan Chemical Corp., a coatings and ink manufacturer based in Hawthorne, NJ, has agreed to make $70,000 in operational improvements as the result of the company’s voluntary disclosure of environmental violations.
The violations were disclosed under the EPA’s audit policy, which offers potentially significant penalty reductions to companies that voluntarily disclose such infractions. The EPA said Pan Chemical had for several years “failed to tell EPA about certain chemicals used at its facility.”
