Tier Environmental LLC pleaded guilty on January 23, 2019 to a single felony charge of recklessly violating a hazardous waste permit issued under Chapter 3734 of the Ohio Revised Code. The company operated a hazardous waste transfer, storage and disposal facility in Bedford, Ohio, from 2013 through 2017.
Regulatory inspections by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and a criminal investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Criminal Investigation Division of the U.S. EPA found the company exceeded its permitted storage capacity by more than 130,000 gallons of hazardous waste between March and May of 2015.
Judge Brian J. Corrigan of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court ordered the company to pay restitution of $20,000 to the Ohio EPA and BCI for investigative costs. The company also must pay a $25,000 fine, with $15,000 of the amount suspended.
