Waterbury chemical and storage company Hubbard-Hall Inc. is paying a $122,177 fine to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for failing to comply with the U.S. Clean Air Act.
Hubbard-Hall is paying $63,200 for its Waterbury facility, $48,090 for its Wilmington, Mass. facility and donating $10,887 to the Wilmington fire department for not having a risk management plan on file at both facilities, a Clean Air Act requirement for hazardous chemical and storage distribution companies.
The EPA also claims Hubbard-Hall stored certain differing chemicals too close together that a spill or leak could cause a violent chemical reaction.
The Hubbard-Hall fine was part of a larger EPA sweep that also included the Monson Companies based in Leominster, Mass. for a total of $222,000 in penalties and equipment donations.
