| The Metal and Metal Fabricators Branch of the Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Division (ECED) is responsible for ensuring compliance with environmental permits and regulations for those metal and metal manufacturing (federal SIC Codes 33 through 37) industries that are subject to Federal and State Wastewater (NPDES, Pretreatment, Stormwater); Air (PSD, Title V, Synthetic Minor, Construction); and State and federal RCRA Hazardous Waste Regulations. Compliance is assured, in cooperation with EPA, through a combination of on-site inspections, taking and analyzing samples, and reviewing reports. When necessary, enforcement actions, including civil penalties, remedial actions, and criminal penalties, can be taken to ensure compliance with the law. |
