"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reached a $48,600 settlement with Performance Coatings Inc. of Ukiah, Calif., for allegedly failing to submit required toxic chemical reports, a violation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. According to EPA, the company regularly uses toxic chemicals such as xylene and ethylbenzene in its paint and coating manufacturing operations yet failed to submit timely, complete reports to the agency and the state detailing the amounts of the two toxic chemicals processed at its facility from 2004 through 2006. EPA inspectors discovered the violations during a 2007 routine inspection."
