Hornady Manufacturing Company - Hazardous Waste Enforcement
Summary
The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy filed a complaint against Hornady Manufacturing Company on April 17, 2020, alleging violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for improper hazardous waste management. A consent decree was entered on November 5, 2020, requiring remediation, and the case concluded with satisfaction of judgement filed February 5, 2021.
What changed
The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) initiated enforcement action against Hornady Manufacturing Company (FID 58029) for violations of RCRA hazardous waste regulations. The case was filed in District Court for Hall County, Case No. CI 20-305, with a complaint dated April 17, 2020. The parties subsequently entered into a consent decree on November 5, 2020, requiring specific remedial actions and potentially civil penalties.
Facilities generating or managing hazardous waste must ensure full compliance with RCRA storage, handling, and disposal requirements. Companies should audit their hazardous waste programs for regulatory gaps and implement corrective actions before NDEE initiates formal enforcement. The consent decree establishes binding obligations with potential penalties for non-compliance.
What to do next
- Review hazardous waste storage, labeling, and disposal practices against RCRA requirements
- Update waste handling procedures to ensure compliance with generator standards
- Document all corrective measures taken to address potential RCRA violations
Penalties
Civil penalties per day of violation under RCRA; specific amounts to be determined through consent decree
