Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
Introduction
Federal facilities, like all other regulated facilities, are responsible for complying with environmental
requirements, and federal agencies, like private organizations, are accountable to the public for their
general environmental stewardship. The Federal Facilities Enforcement Office (FFEO) of the Office
of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the 10 EPA Regional offices work with federal agencies to help them comply with
environmental requirements and take all necessary actions to prevent, control, and abate
environmental pollution. EPA assists federal facilities in complying with environmental
requirements and preventing pollution, and takes enforcement actions against those that do not
comply. It is EPA's goal that all federal agencies reach a level of compliance with environmental
requirements that equals or surpasses the rest of the regulated community. To accomplish this goal,
EPA's Federal Facility Enforcement and Compliance Program focuses on federal facilities and
develops multi-media enforcement and assistance programs to improve compliance and prevent
pollution.
FFEO participates in enforcement negotiations, oversees compliance assistance and enforcement
activities undertaken by EPA regional offices, and is responsible for resolving enforcement disputes
between EPA and other agencies. Each EPA region has a designated Federal Facilities Program
Manager (FFPM), who, in conjunction with other EPA regional staff, is responsible for coordinating
the implementation of EPA's federal facilities policies and programs at the regional level. They
serve as the primary regional point of contact for facility environmental managers. FFEO works
closely with regional FFPMs. Their responsibilities include giving program assistance and training
for federal facilities; informing federal facilities about current environmental issues and
developments; managing, tracking, overseeing, and planning compliance activities; encouraging
pollution prevention; and coordinating with the region's media program staff to implement federal
facilities enforcement programs.
In FY 2002, federal facilities were given on-line access to EPA's Integrated Database for
Environmental Enforcement (IDEA) for the first time as FFEO launched the new On-line
Environmental Compliance Status Report (ECSR). In addition, EPA and the Veterans Health
Administration (VHA) established a cooperative partnership in which EPA will conduct
Environmental Management Reviews (EMRs) at 17 VHA medical centers across the nation. FFEO
continued to chair the Executive Order 13148 Interagency Environmental Leadership Workgroup
in an effort to encourage and support federal agency implementation of the executive order, and
EPA took 25 enforcement actions against federal facilities. These efforts, when combined with
compliance assistance, regulation and policy, and regulatory reinvention activities, strengthened the
Federal Facilities Enforcement and Compliance Program and provided a strong foundation for
achieving EPA's mission.
Sources and Suitability of Environmental Information. Information on compliance assistance
activities conducted by the EPA regions as outlined in Chapter 3 was obtained from the Reporting
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 1 July 2003
-------
Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
Compliance Assistance Tracking System (RCATS) - EPA's database for tracking and reporting
compliance assistance activities. The database was developed to make reporting of compliance
assistance activities easier and more consistent across EPA offices and was developed for EPA staff
who provide assistance or who are responsible for reporting assistance activities. FFEO also
consulted with EPA regional FFPMs about the information in RCATS to ensure the regional
compliance assistance activities in this report is accurate.
The information about FY 2002 enforcement actions taken against federal facilities in Chapter 4 was
obtained from EPA's Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS) database - the database
that supports EPA's judicial and administrative enforcement program. Enforcement data was also
obtained from EPA's Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA). Both IDEA and ICIS
databases are accessible to registered users in EPA offices and across the federal government. FFEO
consulted with both headquarters and regional staff about the enforcement information obtained
from the IDEA and ICIS to ensure its accuracy.
Other data in this report is qualitative in nature and was provided by both FFEO staff and Regional
FFPMs who are responsible for monitoring compliance by federal facilities with environmental
requirements and for coordinating and implementing EPA's federal facilities compliance and
enforcement programs.

Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
1 . New Developments for FY 2002
On-line Environmental Compliance Status Reports
In 2002, EPA's Federal Facility Enforcement Office concluded the testing and development of the
new On-line Environmental Compliance Status Reports (ECSR) for federal facilities (See
www.epa.gov/idea/fedfac). FFEO released a pilot version for federal agencies in November 2002.
The On-line ECSR is Windows based and allows inspectors and other government users to obtain
both summary and detailed multi-media compliance and enforcement information about individual
federal facilities (e.g., military bases, federal government research laboratories). The On-line ECSR
reports regulatory activities occurring at nearly 8,000 specific installations belonging to over 30
different federal agencies, bureaus and operating units for each quarter of the fiscal year.
The on-line reports are accessible to everyone in EPA, state regulatory agencies and other parts of
the federal community and lets users obtain compliance and enforcement information about federal
facilities contained in EPA program databases. Reports are provided for the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act. Users can conduct an on-line customized
query and search for facilities by federal agency, EPA region, and state. Search results include
facility characteristics, permits, inspection and compliance history (e.g, significant noncompliance
status, inspections conducted by EPA and states, quarters in noncompliance, etc.), and formal
enforcement actions and penalties issued by EPA or states.
Inspectors and other government users can access up to five years of detailed information on a
facility. The On-line ECSR also features a "Data Error" reporting feature that allows users to report
data discrepancies directly to EPA and the states. In order to use the federal agency online report
feature, users have to register. Registration instructions are at: wwwj^piy^gMi^^
Executive Order 13148 Interagency Environmental Leadership Workgroup
The Federal Facilities Enforcement Office chairs the Executive Order 13148 Interagency
Environmental Leadership Workgroup. The Workgroup is charged with supporting federal agency
implementation of the E.O. through development of guidance and appropriate policy documents.
In 2002, the Interagency Workgroup successfully completed several assistance documents including
a background primer on Environmental Management System (EMS) implementation at federal
facilities and a brochure on how EMSs should be incorporated into federal agency budget processes.
The Workgroup also developed guidance for agency metrics for EMS development and
implementation and draft guidance for EMS self-declarations by federal facilities. FFEO provided
assistance and input into each of these documents and managed the distribution of the documents
to senior managers and Agency Environmental Executives across the Federal government. Further,
in coordination with the Workgroup, FFEO had the lead for development of the annual reporting
guidance for calendar year (CY) 2002 annual reports submitted under the E.O. and provided
information to the Federal Environmental Executive (FEE) on progress under the E.O. for inclusion
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 3 July 2003

Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
into the FEE report to the President on federal progress in meeting various Executive Orders.
2. Compliance Assurance
Multi-Media Inspections at Federal Facilities
One of the principal ways EPA and our state and tribal partners determine that regulated entities
comply with environmental requirements is through on-site inspections. For several years, EPA's
federal facilities compliance programs have advocated multi-statute inspections (commonly referred
to as multi-media inspections). Such inspections go beyond one media (such as air, water or
hazardous waste) and look more broadly into a facility's operation and its regulatory compliance.
In FY 2002, FFEO augmented regional inspections with contract support for multi-media
inspections of federal facilities.
A nationwide total of 19 multi-media inspections were performed at federal facilities during FY
2002. State inspectors participated in 14 of the inspections. In accordance with OECA's
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) guidance, a multi-media inspection consists of (1) a CAA,
CWA or RCRA inspection plus at least one additional media inspection at the same facility or (2)
some combination of two or more CAA, CWA or RCRA inspections at the same facility. Many of
the 19 multimedia inspections also included investigations of other statutory program areas
including the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Emergency Planning
and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Eight of the 19 multimedia inspections took place at civilian
federal agencies' (CFA) facilities, including locations belonging to the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, and the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Labor, Interior, Agriculture and
Justice. Five of these inspections occurred at Department of Defense (DoD) installations. Between
FY 1993 and FY 2002, EPA regions have conducted a total of 298 multi-media inspections. See the
following table for a list of federal facility multi-media inspections conducted during FY 2002.

Compliance Assistance Activities at Federal Facilities
EPA compliance assistance activities at federal facilities during FY 2002 included on-site visits,
distribution of informational materials, presentations and meetings, responding to inquiries, and
providing training and instructional workshops. According to EPA's Reporting Compliance
Assistance Tracking System (RCATS) database, the 10 EPA regional offices and EPA Headquarters
staff provided 4 on-site compliance assistance visits, 13 workshops or training exercises, and 18
presentations or briefings for federal facility managers and staff. In addition, Environmental
Management Reviews (EMRs) were conducted by several of EPA's regional offices. Compliance
assistance activities targeted for the federal facility sector reached approximately 13,130 federal
facility entities nationwide1.
Examples of the compliance assistance activities conducted by EPA regions include:
EPA Region 1 conducted 4 EMRs and four federal facility seminars including a workshop
at the Department of Interior's National Park Service on the lead-based paint regulations and
basic environmental compliance. The region also held workshops and seminars on EPCRA,
the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) and the Clean Water Act, including sections on the
stormwater regulations. Region 1 staff also participated with Regions 2 and 3 to prepare and
present an instructional workshop for federal facilities on designing and implementing an
EMS. All together, the region conducted 24 compliance assistance activities and reached
approximately 2,886 entities.
EPA Region 2 created two brochures on water conservation and energy efficiency, and
authored the EPA Region 2 Compliance Assistance and Pollution Prevention Newsletter,
which was posted on the Region 2 website. The region also sponsored three compliance
assistance workshops to help federal hospitals understand and comply with environmental
regulations. Region 2 staff also provided a presentation at the Veterans Affairs VISN8
Strategic Planning Meeting on typical violations discovered at health care facilities. As
mentioned above, Region 2 staff participated with Region 1 and 3 to prepare an instructional
workshop on EMSs. For FY 2002, the region conducted 15 activities and reached
approximately 350 entities.
EPA Region 3 conducted three EMRs and hosted a regional meeting open to all federal

federal facility personnel and also participated in the Western Regions' Federal Facility
Conference. For FY 2002, Region 10 conducted a total of two activities and reached 1,370
entities.
EPA and VHA Compliance Improvement
EPA and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) have embarked on a cooperative partnership
in which EPA will conduct environmental management reviews (EMRs) of at least 17 VHA medical
centers across the nation. This will be the largest number of reviews conducted by EPA at any one
federal agency, and is one illustration of EPA's goal to offer assistance to federal facilities interested
in improving their compliance records, as well as meeting the requirements of Executive Order
13148.
These EMRs are part of a larger partnership initiated in the summer of 2002 in which VHA and EPA
agreed to work together on several initiatives to enhance VHA's environmental compliance
programs and address concerns of a similar nature found during inspections at a number of medical
centers over the last few years. They are intended to help individual VHA facilities improve
operations and minimize impacts on the environment, and assist the VHA in designing and
implementing changes nationally to address common environmental issues found nationwide at the
medical centers.
Reviews will be conducted by a team of EPA and VHA experts who will interview medical center
staff and managers about facility operations and how these impact the environment. Subsequent to
each review, EPA will provide the medical centers a written report with specific recommendations
for improvements. In turn, the medical centers will provide EPA a written plan laying out how they
intend to make operational changes to improve environmental programs. Reviews will also help the
VHA design environmental management systems required by Executive Order 13148.
The medical centers where reviews will be conducted were jointly selected by EPA and the VHA
and are representative of the Department's medical centers across the country. Those selected
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 11 July 2003

include new and old facilities, as well as large hospitals providing tertiary care and small hospitals
focusing on primary care. Some of the facilities provide nursing home and long-term care; others
are affiliated with medical schools and do extensive research. EPA hopes to complete all the
reviews in FY 2004.
4. Enforcement
Federal Facilities Enforcement Actions
In FY 2002, as tracked in EPA's Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS) database, EPA
issued or completed 24 enforcement actions against federal agencies and government contractors.
The Department of Defense was named in 13 actions, the Department of Energy in 1 action, and
civilian federal agencies (CFAs) in 8 actions. One action cited both a federal agency and a
government contractor as co-defendants and still another cited a government contractor as the sole
defendant at a U.S. Government site.
EPA Region 4 issued or completed seven actions - the most of all ten EPA Regions. On a statutory
basis, 11 RCRA actions, 5 CAA actions, 5 TSCA actions, one EPCRA action, one CWA action and
one SDWA action were issued or finalized.
Of the 24 actions, 11 were penalty orders. The total amount of penalties in all final orders for all
statutes was $166,632, and the order also included a total of $554,583 in supplemental
environmental projects (SEPs). SEPs are a component of a settlement contained in an enforcement
action in which the alleged violator voluntarily agrees to undertake an environmentally beneficial
project in exchange for a reduction in penalty. Under RCRA, $138,932 in penalties were collected
in final penalty orders along with $538,583 in SEPs. Under CAA, $27,700 were collected in final
penalty orders along with $16,000 in SEPs. One proposed penalty order was issued to the U.S.
Maritime Administration for a total of $222,200.

Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
5. Enforcement Actions and Cleanup Agreements
In FY 2002, EPA took 24 formal enforcement actions against federal facilities under the Clean Air
Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Some of these
actions are summarized below.
Key Enforcement Actions for FY 2002
RCRA Cases
Two RCRA Settlements with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Laurel,
Maryland and the District of Columbia
In FY 2002, EPA settled two cases at FDA facilities for hazardous waste violations such as storing
hazardous waste longer than 90 days, failure to train hazardous waste personnel, and various
emergency equipment infractions. EPA and FDA settled both cases for a total civil penalty of
$8,500. EPA reached this amount because of FDA's diligence in correcting the violations (even
prior to EPA's enforcement actions). In addition, FDA spent $33,000 enhancing its environmental
management atthese two facilities while also spending an additional $37,500 doing similar activities
at its facilities not subject to these settlements. In additions, FDA spent $137,272 hiring additional
staff and upgrading its environmental management software at all of its facilities across the country.
Note, these additional dollar amounts cited above but outside of the $8,500 penalty are not SEPs
but funds FDA set aside for improving environmental management both at these facilities and at
FDA installations nationwide.
RCRA Underground Storage Tank Settlement with the Walter Reed Army Medical Center sin Silver
Spring, Maryland and the District of Columbia
EPA settled underground storage tank (UST) violations such as failing to report suspected releases
from certain USTs in a timely manner, failure to investigate suspected releases from certain USTs
in a timely manner, failure to install spill prevention controls on certain USTs in a timely manner,
and failure to take necessary precautions to prevent overfill/spillage during the transfer of product
at certain USTs. The Army corrected the violations. EPA and the Army agreed to a settlement
wherein EPA assessed a $36,195 penalty and the Army agreed to implement a Supplemental
Environmental Project (SEP) costing the Army at least $108,583. The SEP consists of a central
alarm monitoring system for 37 above-ground and underground storage tanks at these two facilities
which will significantly reduce the potential for possible releases going undetected for any of these
tanks. The alarm system is to be in continuous operation for at least ten years. The Army has paid
the penalty and has spent in excess of $200,000 implementing the SEP.
EPA Settles RCRA Violations With the U.S. Navy's Public Works Center in Apr a Harbor in Guam
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 16 July 2003
-------
Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
On Jan. 7, 2002, the U.S. Navy Public Works Center in Guam agreed to pay $42,000 and perform
two environmental projects worth $380,000 for alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations
at the Navy's Public Works Center (PWC) in Guam. Under the settlement, the Navy will spend
$136,000 to purchase a rescue truck and an incident command response vehicle. The rescue truck
will be outfitted with equipment to support hazardous material spill response team personnel. Both
vehicles will be used by naval forces to conduct emergency response activities both on and off-base.
Also as part of the settlement, $244,000 will be set aside for an improved hazardous waste
minimization system and include training, software and equipment. The money will pay for a
computerized hazardous substance management system, new laboratory equipment, a graphite
furnace unit with associated support equipment, and two storage lockers. The Navy's PWC facility
was cited for four violations of Guam's hazardous waste regulations. The EPA cited the PWC for
failing to comply with the hazardous waste generator requirements, failing to store hazardous waste
under a covered structure, failing to make hazardous waste determinations, and failing to amend
training and contingency plans. The PWC primarily manages recyclable and hazardous materials
from shops operated by the PWC and naval ships that dock on Guam. The PWC determines which
materials can be reused and which must be handled as hazardous waste.
RCRA Corrective Action Order Finalized at the U.S. Army Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant in
Chattanooga, Tennessee
On November 29, 2001, EPA Region 4 finalized an Administrative Order under RCRA against the
Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant (VAAP), requiring corrective Action at the former US Army
TNT manufacturing facility in Chattanooga, TN. The Order directs the Army to fully evaluate the
nature and extent of releases of hazardous waste and constituents into the environment and to take
corrective action necessary to mitigate any migration of releases at or from the facility. Under this
Order, the Army is also responsible for addressing contamination that has migrated to property not
currently owned by the Army. The Order also requires a sustained and appropriate level of cleanup
response from the Army. EPA and the Tennessee Department of Environmental Correction (TDEC)
expect the issuance of the Order to raise the priority the Army place on the response to
contamination of the facility. Future property transfers will not relieve the Army of its obligations
under the Order.
VAAP began operations in July 1942 as a TNT production facility and operated intermittently until
1977. By 1945, the facility had produced more than 800 million pounds of TNT. Production
facilities were modernized in the seventies. The facility generated hazardous waste associated with
TNT production and operated an open burning hazardous waste treatment unit until 1994. The
contaminated soil associated with this unit was removed in 1999 with TDEC's oversight and
approval. Site investigations have revealed contamination in groundwater, surface water, soil, and
sediments from multiple plant processes and waste management practices.
Settlement of RCRA Case at U.S. Army's Fort Bragg in North Carolina
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 17 July 2003
-------
Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
The United States Army's Fort Bragg Military Installation in North Carolina agreed to pay a
$29,137 penalty for RCRA UST violations under a 2002 settlement agreement. The Consent
Agreement Final Order resolves findings of a July 2001 UST inspection of Fort Bragg's 33 UST
systems and requires compliance with Subtitle I of RCRA. An EPA inspection found that Fort
Bragg failed to have leak detection systems capable of detecting a release as well as functional
overfill prevention equipment capable of preventing overfill associated with a product transfer to
the tank system. The inspection also found that the tank systems failed to operate and maintain
cathodic protection systems and failed to maintain records demonstrating that proper testing was
conducted on the integrity of the tanks.
CAA Cases
EPA Issues a CAA Compliance Order to the Army for Violations at Fort George G. Meade in
Maryland
As a part of a federal facility initiative conducted by the Federal Facilities Enforcement Office, EPA
Region 3 and EPA headquarters inspected Fort George Meade for compliance with the CAA. EPA
noted several chlorofluorocarbon violations at the facility such as record-keeping violations
regarding the amount of refrigerant each appliance holds, services performed on the appliance, and
leak detections. Other violations included the Army's failure to obtain permits for boilers prior to
constructing and operating the boilers. EPA issued a CAA Section 113 (a) compliance order
requiring the facility to return to compliance by submitting the appropriate permit applications and
maintaining the required records.
CAA Asbestos Case Settlement with U.S. Army's Fort Shaffer at SchofieldBarracks in Hawaii
In June 2002, EPA Region 9 settled its case against the U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii at Fort Shafter
and its subcontractor, Precision Demolition and Construction Inc. of Hawaii, which will pay $26,400
for alleged asbestos removal violations in March 2000. Fort Shafter will fund specified asbestos
abatement projects at three schools in Hawaii for an estimated $16,000. On Sept. 28,2001, the EPA
filed a complaint against Fort Shafter and Precision for several alleged violations of the Clean Air
Act's standards for hazardous air pollutants for asbestos during the demolition of a building in the
Fort Shafter Flats near Honolulu. The alleged violations included failure to keep asbestos-containing
material adequately wet during stripping operations and until it was collected for disposal. Also,
visible emissions of asbestos-containing material were allegedly discharged to the outside air during
collection. Asbestos is a known environmental carcinogen that the EPA has determined is a
hazardous air pollutant. It presents a significant risk to human health as a result of air emissions.
Individuals exposed to asbestos fibers can contract asbestos-related diseases.
Maritime Administration Cited for CAA Violations at Marine Vessel in Wilmington, North Carolina
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 18 July 2003
-------
Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
Region 4 issued an Administrative Complaint and proposed a penalty of $222,200 against the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (MARAD) for CAA Section 113(d)
violations associated with the renovation of the Marine Vessel (MV) Cape Lobos. EPA Region 4
cited MARAD for alleged violations in early 1999 in Wilmington, North Carolina during general
renovations on board the MV Cape Lobos. Violations cited in the complaint included failure to
remove asbestos before engaging in activities that caused regulated asbestos containing material to
be disturbed, failure to adequately wet the material during demolition, and failure to have at least
one person adequately trained in compliance with asbestos NESHAP regulations present during
disturbance of the asbestos containing material.
CWA Cases
Compliance Agreement Improves Environmental Protections at Hundreds of Fish and Wildlife
Service Facilities
In December 2001, a Federal Facility Compliance Agreement between EPA and the Department
of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) became effective. The Agreement addresses
noncompliance with Section 31 l(j) of the Clean Water Act and its Oil Pollution Prevention
Regulations. The Agreement was developed to address Spill Prevention and Control
Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan) requirements at hundreds of FWS facilities throughout the
nation. It requires FWS facilities to prepare SPCC Plans, to have the SPCC Plans reviewed and
certified by a Professional Engineer (PE), and to implement those SPCC Plans under a set
schedule. The Agreement is the result of EPA's inspection program and FWS's self-disclosure
of noncompliance to EPA. EPA inspected a FWS facility in Alaska and discovered that the
facility's SPCC Plan had not been reviewed or certified by a PE. The FWS self-disclosed that
the same problem existed at other facilities, including its wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries,
many of which are located in remote areas near waters protected by the Clean Water Act. At the
request of FWS during the negotiation of the Agreement, EPA provided compliance assistance
and regulatory interpretations to FWS concerning how the SPCC regulations apply to its
facilities and operations. The Agreement ensures that hundreds of FWS facilities across the
country will operate in environmentally protective ways.
EPCRA Cases
EPCRA Violations Determined at the Northrup Grumman Corporation's Naval Weapons
Industries Reserve Plant (Number 387) in Dallas, Texas
On November 13, 2000, Northrop Grumman Corporation (Northrop), the contractor operator of
Naval Weapons Industries Reserve Plant Number 387 in Dallas, Texas, self-disclosed potential
violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA ) Section
313 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) requirements. After evaluating Northrop's self-disclosure, a
Notice of Determination was issued on November 21, 2001, which waived the gravity-based
penalty in this matter. The gravity-based penalty was waived because Northrop's self-disclosure

and supporting documentation demonstrated that all nine conditions of EPA's Audit Policy were satisfied.
EPCRA and CAA Violations Determined at the Lockheed Martin Corporation, U.S. Air Force
Plant Number 4 in Fort Worth, Texas
The United States Air Force (USAF) owns, and Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed)
operates, Air Force Plant Number 4 (AFP4), located in Fort Worth, Texas. Lockheed
manufacturers the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the Joint Strike Force Fighter aircraft at this facility.
On July 7, 1999, EPA personnel conducted a Multi-Media Compliance Evaluation Inspection
(CEI) at the facility. During the CEI, potential violations of the EPCRA were identified, as was
noncompliance with the CAA.
The EPCRA violations include failure to submit a Form R for calendar year 1996, and failure to
submit a Form R for calendar year 1997. A settlement was reached for the EPCRA violations in
2002, and a civil penalty of $26,180 was assessed against Lockheed. Regarding the CAA
violations , EPA issued Lockheed an Information Request on September 19, 2000, to determine
compliance with the Alternate Reasonably Available Control Technology (ARACT) for the
Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Texas SIP was approved by EPA to achieve
compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Lockheed's response to the
information request revealed some mishandling of wipe solvent rags which were not being
properly stored and disposed after use. EPA issued both the USAF and Lockheed an
Administrative Order requiring them to come into compliance with the ARACT and properly
handle wipe solvent rags.
TSCA Cases
TSCA Notice of Noncompliance Issued to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado
On September 20, 2002, EPA Region 8 issued a Notice of Noncompliance, Compliance
Schedule, and Notice of Opportunity for Conference to the U.S. Army Headquarters in Fort
Carson, Colorado. The notice cited Fort Carson for violations of the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA), and alleged 8 counts of improper disposal of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
based on leaking transformers observed during a May, 2002 inspection. Thirteen counts of
failure to provide maintenance inspection reports were also alleged. The notice stated that if the
respondent had not been a Department of the United States, a penalty of $92,000 would have
been proposed. Subsequent to issuance of the notice, Fort Carson inspected and cleaned all
transformers, submitted inspection maintenance reports and made changes to their procedures to
ensure that such problems would not occur again in the future.
TSCA Notices of Violations (NOVs) Issued to Four Federal Facilities
Federal Facilities Enforcement Office 20 July 2003
-------
Federal Facilities Enforcement & Compliance FY 2002 Accomplishments Report
Violations of TSCA Section 6 (e) were discovered by Region 4 during multimedia inspections of
four separate federal facilities. The NOVs were issued against Arnold Air Force Base in
Tennessee; the U.S. Army's Fort Gordon in Georgia, the U.S. Department of Energy's Paducah
Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah Kentucky, and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration's Kennedy Space Flight Center in Florida. The notices were issued to these
facilities for failing to properly manage polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or failure to maintain
required records.
SDWA Cases
SDWA Compliance Order Issued to U.S. Forest Service's Medicine Bow National Forest.,
Saratoga, Wyoming
On September 25, 2002, a SDWA Compliance Order was issued to the Department of
Agriculture's U.S. Forest Service Medicine Bow National Forest at the Brush Creek/Hayden
District in Saratoga, Wyoming. The Compliance Order alleges violations for failure to monitor
for total coliform, failure to report total coliform monitoring violations to EPA, failure to
monitor for nitrate, and failure to report National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR)
violations to EPA. The Order provided the Forest Service's primary drinking water supply
system with 12 months in which to come into and maintain compliance with the SDWA and
NPDWRs.
Modifications to Agreements from Previous Fiscal Years and Cleanup Cases
EPA Orders Cleanup at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, California
In FY 2002, EPA entered into a consent agreement and final order with the United States Navy
to resolve claims under the TSCA and the Comprehensive Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (CERCLA) for contamination with PCBs at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in
Vallejo, California. The agreement paves the way for the transfer of contaminated property to a
private developer that plans to clean up the property and develop it for commercial and industrial
reuse. Approximately 690 gallons of liquid PCBs and 14 million pounds of PCB-contaminated
concrete, wood, and soil are expected to be removed from the site.
EPA Orders the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to Complete Cleanups on Navajo Nation in
Arizona
On September 27, 2002, Region 9 amended a 1997 order requiring the BIA to complete the
necessary cleanup actions identified at schools and facilities on the Navajo Nation in Arizona by
the end of the year. As part of a supplemental environmental project under the original order,
the BIA Fort Defiance Branch of Roads Maintenance Facility was required to hire a third-party
consultant to perform environmental audits at schools and facilities. The BIA agreed to correct
identified deficiencies and spend at least $223,353 in this effort. The BIA failed to address 374
out of the 1,304 deficiencies that were identified, which included unidentified hazardous waste

and unlabeled drums at schools, underground tanks and aboveground tanks that were potentially
leaking, and contaminated soil. The BIA has agreed to clean up high priority facilities identified
by the EPA and the Navajo Nation and hire a second independent contractor to verify all cleanup
actions completed under the original order. The 1997 order alleged that BIA was operating a
hazardous waste storage facility without a permit, stored paint waste on-site for longer than one
year, and failed to file an hazardous waste activity notification to the Navajo Nation.
