United States | EPA reaches settlement to ensure company resolves chemical reporting violations in New Jersey

June 3, 2025

United States Environmental Protection Agency | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalised a settlement with international chemical company BASF Corporation resolving its violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

 

BASF has certified that it is now in full compliance with federal reporting requirements and has agreed to pay a $700,000 penalty for the past violations.

The violations occurred at BASF’s U.S. headquarters in Florham Park, New Jersey, during the 2020 TSCA chemical reporting period.

The EPA found that the company did not provide information within the required timeframe about hundreds of substances that it was required to report under TSCA.

These submissions help the EPA evaluate potential chemical risks and guide decisions that protect public health and the environment.

BASF has corrected its submission and cooperated throughout the EPA’s investigation.
