The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) and TriHaz Solutions, LLC (“THS”) entered into a May 6th Consent Order (“CO”) addressing alleged violation of the Alabama hazardous waste regulations. See Consent Order No. 26-XXX-CHW.
The CO provides that THS operates a waste transportation company in Madison County, Alabama.
As a result of its operations, THS is stated to have been a hazardous waste transporter, as defined in ADEM Admin. Code Div. 14.
ADEM issued a Hazardous Waste Transport Permit to THS in 2022. The Permit is stated to have expired in 2025. THS submitted an application on September 2, 2025 to ADEM to renew the Permit.
THS notified ADEQ that it had transported hazardous waste in the State of Alabama after the expiration date of the Permit. Further, THS is stated to have failed to submit ADEM form 8700-12 to the agency annually for the years 2023 and 2024.
ADEM reissued the Hazardous Waste Transport Permit to THS on October 3, 2025.
THS neither admits nor denies ADEM’s contentions. However, it indicates that the violations alleged were the result of inadvertent administrative oversight. Further, it states that it promptly submitted a permit renewal application and believed that it was sufficient to secure a renewal of the Permit. After receiving inquiry from ADEM regarding hazardous waste transportation, THS terminated all transportation activities pending receipt of a renewed Permit. THS also provides evidence of corrective actions.
A civil penalty of $4,240 is assessed.
