EPA Settles With Auto Junkyard Chain
From Times Staff Reports
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday announced a $400,000 settlement with an auto junkyard chain.
In 1999, Pick Your Part violated federal rules at six junkyards around California, including one in Sun Valley, said EPA environmental engineer Lynn Kuo.
The company agreed to pay $165,000 in fines and start a $235,000 program to remove and recycle mercury switches in its cars, Kuo said.
