EPA vs. Andersen's Sales and Salvage Inc.
On June 11, 2024, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency entered into a
settlement agreement with Andersen’s Sales and Salvage Inc. in Greeley, CO,
owned by Alter Trading Corporation out of St. Louis, MO. The company will pay a $195,000 penalty to resolve
alleged violations of the Clean Air Act associated with releases of refrigerants.
Andersen’s Sales and Salvage failed to verify the proper recovery of all
refrigerants from the appliances accepted at its scrapyard. Releases of these refrigerant compounds deplete the stratospheric ozone
layer that protects life from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation,
and also contribute to global warming and climate change. The company is required to comply with an
administrative compliance order that includes implementation of a refrigerant
management plan, among other measures.
