Background

Solomon Corporation (Solomon) would be allowed to formally operate as a commercial polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) storage facility under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) if a proposed approval is granted from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Solomon repairs, recycles, and disposes of transformers and other electrical equipment. In April 2016, Solomon opened a new facility in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Solomon submitted an application to operate as a PCB commercial storer at the Prairie du Chien location. No disposal or recycling of PCB equipment will occur at the Prairie du Chien facility. The PCB equipment will be stored until it can be shipped to another Solomon facility or to a disposal facility.

The proposed EPA Approval would allow Solomon to store up to 5,100 gallons of PCB oil contained in up to 175 items, drums, or totes within an approved storage area at their facility located at 1961 Vena Court in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.

EPA has determined the company has shown the operation does not present a risk to human health or the environment. The approval outlines specific conditions under which Solomon must operate the facility.

EPA took comments from the public on the proposed approval for Solomon located at 1961 Vena Court, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The draft PCB commercial storage approval was open for public comment from August 22 to September 22, 2016. Copies of the draft PCB commercial storage approval and supporting documents (i.e., Solomon Corporation application) are located at the Prairie du Chien Memorial Library. Comments were accepted on the draft approval. Before a final decision is made, EPA will review and respond to any and all comments from the public on the proposed approval for Solomon Corp. located at 1961 Vena Court, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.
