Discloses subpoena for documents from previously disclosed investigation by the EPA civil enforcement division - filing
- As previously reported, in February 2018 we received a letter from the California South Coast Air Quality Management District ("SCAQMD") regarding allegations that we sold certain non-compliant paint thinners and solvents from 2010 to 2015 in violation of applicable rules. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we resolved the matter with SCAQMD, and the vendor from whom we purchased the products paid a settlement on our behalf.
- As previously reported, in January 2017, we became aware of an investigation by the EPA’s criminal investigation division into our compliance with lead-safe work practices for certain jobs performed through our installation services business. We have also previously responded to civil document requests from several EPA regions. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we received a subpoena for documents from the EPA civil enforcement division. We are continuing to cooperate with the EPA.
