UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CASGA

United Parcel Service - CASGA operates at Baldwin Park, California under EPA Registry ID 110002701283 and NAICS 492110. The facility sits inside an enforcement footprint that includes two federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) consent agreements and a California civil judgment entered August 4, 2025. EPA ECHO data tied to this single registry record shows zero formal violations in the trailing 24 months, yet carries a derived penalty allocation of $2,120,000 across that window — calculated by prorating the 60-month total to 24 months [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No active EPA-issued permits appear in the ECHO export. No top-pollutant flags appear in the public summary [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Parent UPS reported $88.7 billion in 2025 revenue and moved an average of 20.8 million packages per day [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm].

The sharpest data point in the trailing 24 months is the August 4, 2025 civil judgment in San Joaquin County Superior Court. UPS, UPS Supply Chain Solutions General Services, Inc., and UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. were ordered to pay $1.745 million in civil penalties, costs, and supplemental project funding tied to alleged unlawful disposal of hazardous waste. Forty-four California district attorneys prosecuted the case, including offices in Riverside and San Bernardino counties [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation] [source: https://da.sbcounty.gov/2025/08/04/united-parcel-service-inc-and-affiliates-ordered-to-pay-1-745-million-for-environmental-violat]. As You Sow filed a 2025 shareholder resolution requesting a third-party environmental justice audit at UPS, citing pollution-exposure risk in overburdened communities [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

UPS's federal hazardous waste history under RCRA is anchored by two consent agreements. The first landed June 16, 2021, when EPA Region 6 announced a settlement requiring UPS and TForce Freight to correct alleged hazardous waste violations at 183 locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. The penalty: $3.8 million, paired with a 24-month corrective compliance period [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. The Consent Agreement and Final Order for that resolution is posted on EPA's enforcement page [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/consent-agreement-and-final-order-ups]. EPA escalated the matter nationally on October 19, 2022, announcing a separate settlement covering 1,160 facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico. The allegations centered on failure to make land disposal determinations and improper on-site management of hazardous waste [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

The trailing 24 months — May 2024 through May 2026 — are shaped by state-level enforcement rather than new federal actions. On August 4, 2025, a civil judgment was entered in San Joaquin County Superior Court ordering UPS entities to pay $1.745 million following an investigation into unlawful hazardous waste disposal. Forty-four California district attorneys coordinated the case, including offices in Riverside and San Bernardino counties [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation] [source: https://da.sbcounty.gov/2025/08/04/united-parcel-service-inc-and-affiliates-ordered-to-pay-1-745-million-for-environmental-violat]. On November 13, 2025, As You Sow filed a shareholder resolution at UPS requesting a third-party environmental justice audit, framing pollution exposure in overburdened communities as a material financial risk per Parnassus Investments [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

At the CASGA registry record specifically, the EPA ECHO Exporter snapshot dated May 5, 2026 logs zero formal violations in the trailing 24 months for Registry ID 110002701283, zero active permits, and an EJ index average of 0.0 in the public summary [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $2,120,000 figure attributed to this entity is a prorated derivation — ECHO's exporter methodology applies a 24/60 ratio to the 60-month total — not a discrete 24-month violation event recorded against this registry ID [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Action 4 — Shareholder resolution, November 13, 2025. Filer: As You Sow. Subject: third-party environmental justice audit at UPS. Status: filed for vote at the UPS annual meeting; cites Parnassus Investments' framing of EJ-related regulatory, litigation, operational, and reputational risk [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit]. Facility-level note: the CASGA Baldwin Park record (Registry ID 110002701283) shows zero discrete 24-month violation rows; the $2,120,000 figure is a derived prorated allocation under ECHO's 60-month-to-24-month methodology [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Facility 1 — UPS CASGA, Baldwin Park, California (Registry ID 110002701283). The ECHO Exporter snapshot lists this as the sole facility tied to the CASGA legal-name record. Zero formal 24-month violations. Zero active permits. EJ index average of 0.0 in the public summary. The $2,120,000 24-month penalty allocation is a prorated derivation from the 60-month total, not a discrete enforcement event recorded against this registry ID [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Facility 2 — UPS Supply Chain Solutions California network. The August 4, 2025 California civil judgment names UPS Supply Chain Solutions General Services, Inc. and UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. as co-defendants alongside UPS, Inc. The underlying investigation was conducted by 44 California district attorneys, including offices in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The case was heard in San Joaquin County Superior Court [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation] [source: https://da.sbcounty.gov/2025/08/04/united-parcel-service-inc-and-affiliates-ordered-to-pay-1-745-million-for-environmental-violat].

Facility 3 — UPS Region 6 footprint (AR, LA, OK, NM, TX). EPA Region 6's June 2021 settlement covered 183 UPS and TForce Freight locations across these five states under RCRA, imposing a $3.8 million civil penalty and a 24-month corrective compliance schedule [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement].

Facility 4 — UPS national RCRA footprint (45 states + Puerto Rico). The October 2022 EPA settlement encompassed 1,160 UPS facilities, addressing alleged land-disposal-determination failures and on-site hazardous waste management deficiencies [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

Facility 5 — Peer registry "United Parcel Service Inc (UPS)." The NAICS 492110 peer benchmark shows this related ECHO record covering 11 facilities with 8 violations and a $10.64 million 24-month penalty total, providing context for how the broader UPS corporate footprint registers in ECHO outside the single CASGA entry [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Pollutant 1 — RCRA-listed hazardous waste, broadly defined. The 2021 and 2022 EPA settlements both target alleged failures around RCRA-regulated hazardous waste streams, including land disposal determinations and on-site management practices [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide] [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. Under 40 CFR Part 261, the RCRA toxicity profile is defined by ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity characteristics. At parcel hubs, exposure pathways typically run through warehouse staging areas, damaged-package leaks, and downstream landfill or incinerator routing when land-disposal determinations are not made.

Pollutant 2 — Damaged-package consumer hazardous waste: lithium batteries, aerosols, household chemicals. The October 2022 EPA action specifically cited alleged failures to make land disposal determinations and to conduct proper on-site management — allegations that, in a parcel-network setting, typically implicate damaged consumer shipments containing lithium batteries, aerosols, paints, and pharmaceuticals [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Worker exposure pathways run through direct handling at staging areas. Community-level pathways arise when residual waste is mismanaged at the facility fence line or during transport.

Pollutant 3 — California-defined hazardous waste under the Hazardous Waste Control Law. The August 2025 California civil judgment was prosecuted under state hazardous waste statutes, which classify certain waste streams as hazardous even when federal RCRA does not [source: https://rivcoda.org/UPS_violation] [source: https://da.sbcounty.gov/2025/08/04/united-parcel-service-inc-and-affiliates-ordered-to-pay-1-745-million-for-environmental-violat]. The environmental justice dimension is sharpest in California's logistics corridors, which the As You Sow resolution flags as overburdened communities adjacent to parcel-hub operations [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

Within NAICS 492110, the three top-ranked ECHO peer records are all UPS-affiliated legal-name variants. That makes the peer benchmark an internal comparison of how UPS corporate entities are catalogued in EPA's exporter rather than a read against external competitors. Across those three records, the combined 24-month penalty figure totals $22,824,160 and 20 logged violations, set against zero violations and a $2,120,000 prorated allocation for the CASGA Baldwin Park record (Registry ID 110002701283) examined here [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The CASGA record sits at the lower end of the UPS legal-name footprint by violation count and absolute penalty exposure. The parent's federal RCRA settlement history — two consent agreements covering 1,160 facilities — falls outside the 24-month window [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

UPS's 10-K for fiscal year 2025, filed February 17, 2026, frames forward-looking risk primarily around strategic execution and macroeconomic factors. The Item 1A excerpt emphasizes the limitations of forward-looking statements and the company's reliance on its Investor Relations website for material disclosures. Item 1's Business Overview describes UPS as a global package delivery and logistics provider with $88.7 billion in 2025 revenue, 20.8 million packages per day, and a December 2025 agreement with USPS for Ground Saver and Mail Innovations final-mile volumes starting in 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. The 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed November 5, 2025, is on file; the environmental excerpt in the research bundle is empty [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828025049661/ups-20250930.htm].
