DescriptionFollowing a September 2004 inspection of Colorite Specialty Resins's polyvinyl chloride manufacturing facility located in Burlington, New Jersey, the US Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection identified violations of environmental law. The US EPA and the NJDEP filed complaints against Colorite and in a settlement with both the United States and the State of New Jersey, Colorite has agreed to take corrective measures at its Burlington Township manufacturing facility to reduce harmful emissions of vinyl chloride. Under terms of the settlement, Colorite will pay a $1.3 million civil penalty to be split between New Jersey and the federal government, and will undertake two projects valued at more than $1 million that will further reduce vinyl chloride emissions from its Burlington Township facility.
