EPA fines Curtis Bay oil recycling facility $230,000 for air and water pollution

An oil recycling facility will pay a $230,000 penalty for pollution violations in South Baltimore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.

Petroleum Recovery and Remediation Management, Inc. broke federal clean air and water laws while processing, recycling and disposing of waste oil material at its Curtis Bay location, according to a news release from the agency. The company also was operating bulk storage tanks that risked the emissions of a hazardous air pollutant, the statement said.
