Brown Wood Preserving Co., Inc., and the James Graham Brown Foundation, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:08–CV–1720–RDP, were lodged with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. These Consent Decrees will resolve claims asserted by the United States and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (‘‘ADEM’’) against Brown Wood Preserving Co., Inc. (‘‘Brown Wood’’) and the James Graham Brown Foundation, Inc. (‘‘JGBF’’) for injunctive relief and civil penalties based on violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6928, that occurred at a wood treatment facility located in Northport, Alabama, formerly owned and operated by JGBF and presently owned and operated by Brown Wood. The complaint in this action alleges that Brown Wood operated a hazardous waste disposal facility without a permit or interim status, in violation of 42 U.S.C. 6925(a), 40 CFR parts 264 and 270, and failed to properly respond to hazardous waste leaks from storage tanks, in violation of 40 CFR 264.196, and applicable parallel administrative provisions under Alabama state law.
