UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CEDAR CITY

UPS's Cedar City, Utah facility (EPA Registry ID 110005209158) carries a derived 24-month penalty exposure of $2.12 million under RCRA hazardous waste enforcement, yet the record shows zero violation quarters against this single-facility entity over the trailing 24 months [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That $2.12 million is an allocation, not a site-level enforcement event. The figure originates in a multi-state EPA Region 6 settlement announced June 16, 2021, under which UPS and TForce Freight agreed to a $3.8 million civil penalty covering 183 locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. ECHO's 24/60 pro-rate formula then distributes that historical exposure across each site in the settlement footprint, Cedar City among them. The most recent permit-related entry for this location is dated January 24, 2024 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UPS posted 2025 revenue of $88.7 billion on 5.2 billion packages delivered and, in its Q1 2026 10-Q filed May 6, 2026, disclosed environmental remediation contingencies it characterized as immaterial [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026031154/ups-20260331.htm]. The corporate ECHO record for UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC (UPS) shows 8 violation quarters and $10.64 million in penalty exposure across 11 facilities over the same 24-month window — placing Cedar City's derived share at roughly 20% of the broader UPS-branded ECHO penalty pool [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Neither pollutant-specific monitoring data nor an EJSCREEN index value is populated for Cedar City in the source export.

The May 8, 2026 ECHO export identifies one regulated facility at the Cedar City location — Registry ID 110005209158 — with zero quarters in non-compliance over the trailing 24 months, zero active permits, and a derived 24-month penalty allocation of $2,120,000 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. ECHO's derivation applies a 24/60 ratio to a 5-year penalty total; the underlying penalty was assessed at facilities outside Cedar City itself.

The 24-month timeline opens at January 24, 2024 — the most recent permit-related entry in the Cedar City registry record [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Corporate-level disclosures follow in sequence. The 2024 GRI report, covering January 1 through December 31, 2024, documents continuing decarbonization commitments and was published March 20, 2025 [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/images/our-impact/reporting/2024-UPS-GRI-Report.pdf]. Results on the ground followed. During 2025, UPS extended RFID infrastructure across U.S. package cars and 5,500 store locations and completed acquisitions of Frigo-Trans and Andlauer Healthcare Group, adding cold-chain logistics capacity [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. December 2025 brought a separate network shift: a new agreement with USPS to handle final-mile delivery for portions of Ground Saver and Mail Innovations volumes beginning in 2026, redistributing parcel routing across the Postal Service footprint [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. The 10-K was filed February 17, 2026.

Two events define Q1 2026. As of March 31, 2026, UPS recorded immaterial contingencies for environmental remediation and other claims, with offsetting insurance recoveries booked in accounts receivable [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026031154/ups-20260331.htm]. A February 20, 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidating certain IEEPA tariffs triggered a refund process at U.S. Customs and Border Protection beginning April 20, 2026, with UPS filing for approximately $500 million in tariff refunds [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026031154/ups-20260331.htm]. Against that backdrop, PollutionScan catalogues Utah's statewide tally at 1,858 EPA violations across 46,019 regulated facilities and $172,084,040 in cumulative penalties — the regulatory baseline against which Cedar City's clean recent record sits [source: https://pollutionscan.com/state/UT].

The single recoverable enforcement action mapped to Cedar City is a derivative allocation from the EPA Region 6 multi-facility RCRA settlement. EPA announced the settlement on June 16, 2021, naming United Parcel Service, Inc. and TForce Freight, Inc. as Respondents [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. The settlement covered hazardous waste regulation violations at 183 locations across five states — Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas — and assessed a $3.8 million civil penalty with a 24-month compliance window [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. Program: RCRA. Outcome: Consent Agreement and Final Order with cooperative compliance enhancements.

No standalone Clean Water Act or Clean Air Act formal action appears against Cedar City Registry ID 110005209158 in the ECHO export, and no informal action quarters were tallied over the trailing 24 months [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $2.12 million attached to Cedar City reflects a pro-rated apportionment of historical 5-year penalty exposure — not a 2024–2026 enforcement event.

Related-entity data sharpens the comparison. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CARLSBAD (Registry ID 110004282151), one of the New Mexico facilities named in the 2021 Region 6 settlement, shows 2 violation quarters and $3,800,000 in 5-year penalties under RCRA, alongside one formal action — the highest discrete site-level disclosure within the UPS Region 6 footprint [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110004282151/united-parcel-service-carlsbad-carlsbad-nm]. Across the broader corporate ECHO entity (slug united-parcel-service-inc-ups), 8 violation quarters and $10.64 million in 24-month penalty exposure are recorded across 11 facilities. A sister entity (slug united-parcel-services) carries 6 quarters and $6.42 million across 10 facilities; a third UPS-branded record (slug united-parcel-svc) carries 6 quarters and $5.76 million across 16 facilities [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Specific dates, programs, or facility-level penalty splits within those aggregates are not exposed in the ECHO export beyond the totals shown.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CEDAR CITY (Cedar City, UT — Registry ID 110005209158): Zero violation quarters over the trailing 24 months, zero active permits. Most recent permit-related date: January 24, 2024. The $2.12 million 24-month penalty figure is a derived allocation, not a discrete site enforcement event [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The EJSCREEN index average is reported as 0.0 in the export — a null exposure data result, not a measured zero-burden community profile.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CARLSBAD (Carlsbad, NM — Registry ID 110004282151): A RCRA-active hazardous waste handler at 2435 W Texas, classified Grade C (score 63/100) by PollutionScan. The site shows 2 violation quarters, $3.8 million in 5-year penalty exposure, and 1 formal action — the highest discrete site-level disclosure within the UPS Region 6 footprint [source: https://pollutionscan.com/facility/110004282151/united-parcel-service-carlsbad-carlsbad-nm].

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC (UPS) corporate ECHO entity: 11 facilities in aggregate, 8 violation quarters, $10.64 million in 24-month penalty exposure. No top pollutants are populated in the export [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UNITED PARCEL SERVICES (related entity): 10 facilities, 6 violation quarters, $6,424,160 in 24-month penalty exposure [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UNITED PARCEL SVC (NAICS 49211 entity): 16 facilities, 6 violation quarters, $5.76 million in 24-month penalty exposure [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

The ECHO export returns an empty top_pollutants array for the Cedar City facility, the parent UPS entity, and all related UPS-branded ECHO records — no specific pollutant emissions or releases are tagged at the facility level within the export window [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The gap fits the operational profile. Courier-and-distribution hubs typically generate RCRA-regulated small-quantity hazardous waste streams — used oils, solvents, lithium battery returns, ORM-D damaged shipments — rather than continuous Clean Air Act or NPDES point-source discharges.

Regional air quality data fills part of the picture. EPA's 2023 Westside Neighborhoods Environmental Justice and Air Quality Assessment for Salt Lake City documents community concerns about disproportionate air-quality impacts tied to industrial and inland-port logistics development [source: https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-05/westside-neighborhoods-environmental-justice-and-air-quality-assessment.pdf]. Diesel-dominated freight corridors are the primary concern. In a June 26, 2025 release, Utah Physicians for Healthy Environment identifies the Cedar Valley project area as being in serious nonattainment of federal air quality standards for PM 2.5 and ozone, and notes water-availability and wetlands constraints tied to industrial expansion in the area [source: https://www.uphe.org/2025/06/26/utah-inland-port-authority-poised-to-approve-project-area-in-utah-countys-water-strapped-cedar-valley/]. Cedar City sits in Iron County, distinct from the Utah County Cedar Valley referenced by UPHE. The PM 2.5 and ozone profile is nonetheless a relevant exposure pathway for diesel-intensive parcel operations in the region.

No TRI release totals, NEI emissions estimates, or DMR-reported parameter loadings are populated for the subject facility in the source export.

Within NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), the three top UPS-branded ECHO records show a combined 20 violation quarters and $22.82 million in 24-month penalty exposure across 37 facilities, with the corporate parent record carrying the largest share at $10.64 million across 11 facilities [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Cedar City's $2.12 million derived 24-month penalty represents approximately 9.3% of that combined UPS-branded peer pool by penalty value. The sub-entity contributes zero new violation quarters and only one facility — the allocation is historical, not a reflection of current Cedar City compliance activity [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Utah's statewide benchmarks — 1,858 violations and $172.08 million in cumulative penalties across 46,019 facilities per PollutionScan — place Cedar City well below the per-facility statewide penalty average [source: https://pollutionscan.com/state/UT].
