DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under The Clean Air
Act
On November 19, 2019, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Puerto Rico in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v.
Puerto Rico CVS Pharmacy, LLC, Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-02075.
The Consent Decree resolves the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act violations as alleged in the Complaint, also filed by the United
States on November 19, 2019. The violations alleged in the Complaint
arose in 2013 and include Puerto Rico CVS Pharmacy's (``CVS'') failure
to comply with certain RCRA regulations governing management of
hazardous waste at some of its Puerto Rico stores. Specifically, they
include, among others, a failure to maintain hazardous waste containers
closed, failure to mark the accumulation start date on hazardous waste
containers, and a failure to maintain a contingency plan on site.
The Consent Decree requires CVS to conduct a compliance assessment
of its Puerto Rico stores, and to conduct training for Puerto Rico
store managers. The Consent Decree also requires CVS to pay a $60,000
penalty.
