EPA fines PMI of Baltimore MD $230,000 for Violations of Pollution Laws
PHILADELPHIA (April. 23, 2024) –Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency announced settlement of a multi-media case against a Maryland oil
recycling facility. Petroleum Recovery and Remediation Management, Inc. (PMI)
will pay a $230,000 penalty to settle alleged Clean Air Act, Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and Clean Water Act violations at its Baltimore,
Maryland facility.  
Included violations are related to processing, recycling and disposal of waste
oil material including operation of bulk storage tanks, with concomitant risks
of emissions of hazardous air pollutants, among other risks to human health
and the environment.
The processing facility, located at 5200 and 5218 Curtis Avenue, receives,
separates, and stores petroleum contaminated hazardous and non-hazardous waste
materials, including liquids, sludge and solids for disposal, processing and
recycling.
Prior to this settlement, PMI and EPA entered a compliance order requiring PMI
to take actions to come into compliance with the CAA, RCRA, and CWA. The
Facility now only stores used oils and diesel fuels, no longer receives
volatile liquids and no longer has the processing equipment that was the main
cause of the underlying violations.
The facility is in an area of potential Environmental Justice concern.
Protecting communities with potential EJ concerns is a shared goal and
responsibility of EPA and our partner agencies, including the Maryland
Department of the Environment. EPA conducts joint planning with states and
other co-regulators and, whenever possible, endeavors to perform enforcement
and compliance work in partnership with them.
