Description
Excerpt: CHICAGO (SEPT. 27, 2001) -- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with Ritchie Engineering Co. Inc. on alleged violations of federal clean air regulations at the company's plant, 1120 Fuller Drive, Garrett, Ind. A $20,000 penalty was assessed. The agreement resolves an administrative complaint filed in September 2000 alleging Ritchie made and distributed its model R60 refrigerant recovery unit without proper labeling. The company also failed to comply with an EPA administrative order issued Jan. 13, 2000, telling it to comply with labeling requirements. The improper labeling and selling of refrigerant recovery equipment was discovered during a May 10, 2000, inspection conducted by the Indiana Department of Environmental Health, requested by EPA.
