ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency says a receiver will take over facilities in St. Joseph after years of non-compliance with environmental regulations.
The EPA said in a news release Tuesday a federal judge appointed a receiver for 60 days to assess the facilities owned by of HPI Products Inc., St. Joe Properties LLC and William Garvey.
The defendants operate six pesticide manufacturing properties in the St. Joseph area. The EPA says thousands of containers of hazardous and non-hazardous waste have been stored at the facilities.
The defendants agreed in a 2011 settlement to clean up the sites but the EPA says they have not complied with the terms of the settlement.
