This facility has been subject to 1 penalty action(s) totaling $20.0k, but is not currently flagged as a significant violator. EPA inspects regulated facilities periodically and assesses penalties when violations are confirmed. Penalty history doesn't necessarily mean the facility is currently out of compliance.
