PHOENIX (AP) - A Parker petroleum products company has been hit with a $55,000 fine by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and Arizona Attorney General's Office for air quality and waste violations.
ADEQ said Thursday that inspections over a 4-year period revealed a host of violations at the LiquidTitan refinery, which produces gasoline, diesel fuel and used oil fuels.
The air quality violations included failing to stop releases of volatile organic compounds due to vapor leaks and blockages.
The waste violations included failing to stop releases of used fuel oil into the soil from tanks and leaking valves and failure to label, properly store and dispose of used oil sludge.
The company has hired environmental management firms and spent about $900,000 since 2006 to maintain compliance.
