Shell Guam failed to submit timely, complete, and correct Toxics Release Inventory reports to the EPA detailing the amounts of chemicals processed at its facility in 2007. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\"> Federal emergency planning laws require facilities processing more than 25,000 pounds of the chemicals at issue in this case to report releases of the chemicals on an annual basis to the EPA and the state. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\"> Each year the EPA compiles information submitted from the previous year regarding toxic chemical releases and produces a national Toxics Release Inventory database for public availability. This database estimates the amounts of each toxic chemical released to the environment, treated or recycled on-site, or transferred off-site for waste management, and also provides a trend analysis of toxic chemical releases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\">References:<a href=\"http:\/\/yosemite.epa.gov\/opa\/admpress.nsf\/0\/7ca38a05e4462ad885257694007f2dc3?OpenDocument\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/yosemite.epa.gov\/opa\/admpress.nsf\/0\/7ca38a05e4462ad885257694007f2dc3?OpenDocument\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/yosemite.epa.gov\/opa\/admpress.nsf\/0\/7ca38a05e4462ad885257694007f2dc3?OpenDocument<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guam Fire Department receives new equipment as result of EPA settlement with Shell Guam \/ Over $28,000 in equipment will help the Guam Fire Department respond to emergencies The Guam Fire Department recently received $28,300 in personal protective equipment as the result of a settlement reached by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with Shell Guam [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1794,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[172],"class_list":["post-1793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-guam","tag-epa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Guam Fire Department Receives New Equipment &#8226; Edel Alon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello, we have well thought out reading topics on technology, leadership, project management, food, weddings, and tools to help your daily life.
