Court
EPA ALJ

Summary: An administrative law judge (ALJ) holds that a zirconium parts cleaning facility is liable for violations of both the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations and rejects the facility's claim that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the state of Virginia lack jurisdiction to prosecute. The ALJ first holds that the facility's motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction must be denied.
