UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CAANA

United Parcel Service's Anaheim, California operating entity (UPS-CAANA, CIK 0001090727) appears in EPA's ECHO exporter under a single facility identifier (110031286757) with zero quarters of noncompliance flagged in the trailing 24 months and a derived penalty allocation of $2.12 million drawn from the five-year aggregate [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The most recent permit action on file is dated June 6, 2025. Parent company UPS reported 2025 revenue of $88.7 billion and delivered 5.2 billion packages during the year, per its 10-K filed February 17, 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm].

That single Anaheim node sits inside a far larger enforcement footprint. EPA Region 6 reached a $3.8 million consent agreement with UPS and TForce Freight in June 2021 covering 183 locations across five states [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement], and a follow-on national settlement in October 2022 resolved hazardous-waste allegations across 1,160 facilities in 45 states and Puerto Rico [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. California added its own layer: the Riverside County District Attorney announced a $1.745 million civil judgment against UPS and affiliates for environmental violations [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation]. Shareholder group As You Sow filed a November 13, 2025 resolution requesting a third-party environmental-justice audit of UPS [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit]. Peer ECHO records for related UPS legal entities show 8, 6, and 6 quarters of noncompliance respectively over the same 24-month window [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

The UPS-CAANA record in ECHO covers one facility in Anaheim, California, tied to EPA facility ID 110031286757. The ECHO exporter snapshot as of May 4, 2026 reports zero quarters with noncompliance in the 24-month lookback and an allocated penalty of $2,120,000 derived from the five-year penalty total prorated at 24/60 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The EJ index average is recorded as 0.0 and no active permits are flagged, with the latest permit-related date shown as June 6, 2025. No specific pollutants are populated in the ECHO top-pollutants field for this entity.

The 24-month corporate narrative is dominated by legacy Resource Conservation and Recovery Act matters. On June 16, 2021, EPA Region 6 announced a consent agreement and final order with UPS and TForce Freight covering alleged RCRA hazardous-waste violations at 183 facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas, with a $3.8 million civil penalty and a 24-month compliance schedule [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement] [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/consent-agreement-and-final-order-ups]. On October 19, 2022, EPA headquarters announced a national settlement resolving RCRA violations at 1,160 UPS facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico, including failures to make land-disposal determinations and conduct on-site hazardous-waste management, with required environmental-management-system changes [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. The Riverside County District Attorney separately obtained a $1.745 million judgment against UPS and affiliates for environmental violations in California [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation].

Moving into the 2024–2026 window, public enforcement disclosures specific to UPS-CAANA are sparse. The parent company's 10-Q filed November 5, 2025 contains no material environmental contingency excerpt in the reviewed section [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828025049661/ups-20250930.htm]. The 10-K filed February 17, 2026 references forward-looking-statement disclaimers and the Customer First/People Led/Innovation Driven operating strategy, including RFID deployment at 5,500 UPS Store locations and a December 2025 agreement with the United States Postal Service for final-mile delivery beginning in 2026, but the reviewed Item 1A and Item 7 excerpts do not itemize new environmental enforcement actions [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. On the governance side, As You Sow's November 13, 2025 shareholder resolution requests a third-party environmental-justice audit, framing pollution exposure in overburdened communities as a material financial risk [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit]. ECHO records for sibling UPS legal entities document continuing quarterly noncompliance flags and derived penalty totals of $10.64 million, $6.42 million, and $5.76 million over the 24-month window [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

June 16, 2021 — EPA Region 6 Consent Agreement and Final Order (RCRA). Respondents UPS and TForce Freight agreed to a $3.8 million civil penalty and a 24-month corrective program across 183 facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. The executed CAFO document is hosted at EPA [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/consent-agreement-and-final-order-ups].

October 19, 2022 — EPA National RCRA Settlement. EPA announced a consent agreement and final order resolving hazardous-waste violations at 1,160 UPS facilities spanning 45 states and Puerto Rico. Alleged conduct included failure to make land-disposal determinations and to conduct proper on-site management of hazardous wastes. UPS agreed to implement environmental policies designed to prevent future noncompliance [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

Riverside County District Attorney judgment — United Parcel Service and affiliates were ordered to pay $1.745 million for environmental violations, per the Riverside County DA's public notice [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation]. The underlying program elements track California state hazardous-waste and retail-waste statutes; dollar amount and ordering authority are confirmed in the county release.

ECHO 24-month derivations (as of May 4, 2026). UPS-CAANA: penalty_total_24mo $2,120,000, zero quarters of noncompliance, one facility [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC (UPS) parent-linked slug: 11 facilities, 8 quarters of noncompliance, derived $10,640,000. UNITED PARCEL SERVICES: 10 facilities, 6 quarters of noncompliance, $6,424,160. UNITED PARCEL SVC: 16 facilities, 6 quarters of noncompliance, $5,760,000 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Derivation methodology is published by EPA: viol_24mo=min(qtrs_with_nc,8); penalty_24mo=total_5yr*(24/60).

UPS-CAANA, Anaheim, California (EPA facility ID 110031286757). The sole facility under this slug. ECHO shows zero quarters of noncompliance in the trailing 24 months, no active permits, a latest permit date of June 6, 2025, and an allocated penalty total of $2.12 million derived from five-year history [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The EJ index is recorded as 0.0 in the snapshot, which indicates either an unpopulated field or a facility footprint where EJScreen block-group overlays were not attached in this export.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC (UPS) parent slug — 11 facilities nationwide. Eight quarters of noncompliance over 24 months, which is the maximum under EPA's capped derivation, with $10.64 million in allocated penalties [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. This entity is most frequently tied to the October 2022 national RCRA settlement [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

UNITED PARCEL SERVICES slug — 10 facilities, 6 quarters of noncompliance, $6.42 million allocated [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UNITED PARCEL SVC slug — 16 facilities, the largest by count in the peer set, with 6 quarters of noncompliance and $5.76 million allocated [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Riverside County, California affiliates — the Riverside County District Attorney's $1.745 million judgment covered UPS and affiliates operating in the county. The county release does not enumerate individual facility IDs but identifies California retail and distribution operations as the conduct locus [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation].

The ECHO exporter returns an empty top_pollutants array for UPS-CAANA [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip], so pollutant context is drawn from the category of conduct documented in the 2021 and 2022 EPA settlements rather than from a TRI or DMR pollutant profile tied to this specific slug.

RCRA hazardous-waste streams. The 2022 EPA national settlement identifies failures to make land-disposal determinations and to conduct proper on-site management of hazardous waste as the core alleged conduct [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Waste streams typical of retail-shipping and sortation operations include damaged aerosol containers, lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, spilled consumer chemicals, and mercury-containing lamps. Exposure pathways for workers and nearby residents run through point-of-generation handling, accumulation-area management, and transport manifesting. EPA's RCRA regulatory framework governs each step.

Mobile-source emissions (CAA). UPS's 10-K identifies an integrated air and ground network delivering 20.8 million packages per day [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. Ground and air fleet operations generate diesel particulate matter, NOx, and CO2 at facility perimeters. UPS's own 2024 GRI Report and 2021 Sustainability Highlights commit to 40% alternative fuel in ground operations by 2025, 25% renewable electricity at facilities by 2025, and 30% sustainable aviation fuel by 2035, with carbon neutrality targeted for 2050 [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/assets/social-impact/2021-esg-highlights-brochure/en_en_2021SustainabilityBrochure_V15.pdf.pdf] [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/images/our-impact/reporting/2024-UPS-GRI-Report.pdf].

Environmental-justice implications. As You Sow's November 2025 resolution cites Parnassus Investments' framing that unmanaged pollution exposure raises regulatory, litigation, and operational risk, and argues parcel-logistics facilities disproportionately sit in already overburdened communities [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

Within NAICS 492110/49211, the three top peer rows are themselves UPS-affiliated legal entities, each carrying 6 to 8 quarters of noncompliance and derived 24-month penalty totals between $5.76 million and $10.64 million [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. UPS-CAANA's single-facility, zero-NC, $2.12 million derived penalty profile sits at the low end of this cluster. That positioning reflects scope — one Anaheim node versus 10 to 16 facilities in the sibling slugs — rather than a categorical difference in parent-company compliance posture. The 2022 national RCRA settlement covering 1,160 facilities is the common denominator driving the five-year penalty pool that ECHO prorates into the 24-month column [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

UPS's Item 1A discussion in the 10-K filed February 17, 2026 opens with a standard cautionary note on forward-looking statements and directs investors to the Investor Relations website for material disclosures. The reviewed excerpt emphasizes strategic execution, global network operations across 200+ countries, the December 2025 USPS final-mile agreement, and the 2025 acquisitions of Frigo-Trans and Andlauer Healthcare Group [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. Forward-looking risk themes identifiable from the excerpt include network reconfiguration, healthcare cold-chain expansion, and deployment of RFID and AI across U.S. package cars and 5,500 UPS Store locations. Environmental-specific forward risks — such as RCRA corrective-action obligations or CAA mobile-source rulemaking — are not itemized in the excerpted text and would need to be read against the full filing.
