Past EPA violations at company with ties to Fredericktown’s CMR
SUMMARY: The Frederick Town Recycling Center, which recently caught fire, is linked to Critical Mineral Recovery (CMR), a company with a history of EPA violations. Both CMR and the Madison, Illinois facility share the same president. Past incidents in Madison resulted in 14 EPA violations related to hazardous waste disposal and facility standards. According to attorney Al Watkins, while CMR and the fire may not be directly connected, the fire itself led to violations. CMR states it collaborates with the EPA to enhance safety measures. Investigations are ongoing regarding the previous violations and the recent fire’s implications.
