Ecolab - Final Order - 24-0118-HMI-SW
On October 10, 2024, the Office of Chief Counsel issued a Notice of Probable Violation (Notice) to Respondent proposing a $562 civil penalty for one (1) violation of the HMR. On October 22, 2024, Respondent submitted a payment in the amount of $562. By paying the full amount of the civil penalty proposed in the Notice, Respondent admitted the violation as alleged in the Notice (49 CFR § 107.315). By paying the proposed civil penalty, Respondent waived all rights to further respond to the Notice and to appeal this Order. Accordingly, PHMSA accepts Respondent's October 22, 2024 payment in full satisfaction of the civil penalty proposed in the Notice, and PHMSA shall close this case with prejudice.
