EPA inspected the Oxford facility in September 2009, following this inspection EPA alleged that Oxford violated the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act by failing to adequately determine the contents of hazardous waste containers.
In addition, Oxford failed to perform various requirements including conducting a hazardous waste determination of its wastes from its chemical conversion coating operation; adequately training employees with hazardous waste management responsibilities.
EPA also noted that Oxford failed in conducting and documenting daily inspections of hazardous waste containers and properly labeling and managing containers of hazardous waste.
The company has certified to EPA that it is now in compliance with the federal hazardous waste law and has agreed to the payment of a $5,000 penalty.
