UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - CLARKSVILLE

United Parcel Service — Clarksville (CIK 0001090727, NYSE: UPS) operates two EPA-registered facilities tied to the Clarksville, Indiana node of its Courier Express/Ground Parcel network (NAICS 492110). ECHO data as of May 4, 2026 shows zero quarters with noncompliance flagged against these two facility IDs over the trailing 24 months, but a derived penalty allocation of $4.24 million over that window, reflecting UPS enterprise-wide hazardous-waste settlements amortized across reporting units [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The most recent permit activity on file for the Clarksville entity is dated June 27, 2025, with no currently active permits recorded [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Two EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act consent agreements define the enforcement backdrop. The first, signed June 16, 2021, was a Region 6 settlement covering 183 UPS and TForce Freight locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas, carrying a $3.8 million civil penalty [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. The second arrived October 19, 2022 — a nationwide consent agreement spanning 1,160 facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Both orders predate the 24-month ECHO review window but continue to drive corrective-action obligations that fall squarely within it. UPS disclosed 2025 consolidated revenue of $88.7 billion and an average of 20.8 million packages per day in its FY2025 Form 10-K filed February 17, 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. As You Sow filed a November 13, 2025 shareholder resolution requesting a third-party environmental justice audit of UPS operations, sharpening the ESG-disclosure gap at the parent level [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

The Clarksville reporting unit carries a clean quarterly-noncompliance ledger in ECHO's trailing 24 months. Zero quarters are flagged against facility IDs 110006496443 and 110004953033 as of May 4, 2026 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $4,240,000 penalty figure attached to the slug is a pro-rata derivation from ECHO's five-year total, calculated under the formula disclosed in the exporter file (penalty_24mo = total_5yr × 24/60) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Readers should treat the Clarksville dollar figure as an allocation artifact of enterprise-level RCRA settlements rather than a facility-specific fine.

Two federal actions anchor the chronological record. Neither falls inside the 24-month window, yet both extend corrective-action tails into it. On June 16, 2021, EPA Region 6 announced a Consent Agreement and Final Order requiring UPS and TForce Freight to correct alleged hazardous-waste violations at 183 locations across five states, with a 24-month compliance runway and a $3.8 million civil penalty [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. That corrective-action tail ran to approximately June 2023, placing it inside the first months of ECHO's review period. Then, on October 19, 2022, EPA announced a nationwide consent agreement resolving alleged RCRA violations — including failure to make land-disposal determinations and improper on-site management of hazardous waste — at 1,160 UPS facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Press coverage confirmed both the nationwide scope and the corrective-action program that extended into the 2023–2025 review window [source: https://www.wkyt.com/2022/10/19/epa-ups-pay-fine-correct-hazardous-waste-violations/] [source: https://www.ibj.com/articles/epa-ups-to-pay-fine-correct-hazardous-waste-violations].

During 2024 and 2025, UPS executed corrective-measures obligations under the 2022 order while the parent entity continued acquisition activity in healthcare logistics — closing Frigo-Trans and Andlauer Healthcare Group — and announced a December 2025 contract with the U.S. Postal Service to support final-mile delivery of Ground Saver and Mail Innovations volumes starting in 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. Each of those expansions carries its own compliance surface area in fleet emissions and cold-chain hazardous-materials handling. Operationally, Fast Company reported in February 2026 that UPS disclosed in a court filing almost two dozen facilities marked for closure following January 2026 layoff announcements — a footprint contraction that will reshape the ECHO facility inventory in subsequent quarters [source: https://www.fastcompany.com/91494908/ups-closing-package-facilities-2026-full-list-doomed-locations-states]. The Clarksville node's Q3 2025 Form 10-Q disclosed no new material environmental proceedings in the filing body [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828025049661/ups-20250930.htm].

Action 1 — EPA Region 6 RCRA Consent Agreement, June 16, 2021. Program: RCRA (hazardous waste). Respondents: United Parcel Service, Inc. and TForce Freight, Inc. Scope: 183 facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. Outcome: Consent Agreement and Final Order, 24-month compliance timeline, $3,800,000 civil penalty [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. The corrective-action tail on this order extended into the June 2023 timeframe, bringing it inside the first months of the 24-month review window used by ECHO.

Action 2 — EPA Headquarters nationwide RCRA Consent Agreement, October 19, 2022. Program: RCRA. Respondent: United Parcel Service, Inc. Scope: 1,160 facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico. Allegations: failure to make land-disposal determinations, improper on-site management of hazardous waste, and related compliance failures. Outcome: consent agreement and final order requiring implementation of environmental management policies to prevent future noncompliance; civil penalty disclosed in EPA press materials [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide] [source: https://www.wkyt.com/2022/10/19/epa-ups-pay-fine-correct-hazardous-waste-violations/].

Facility-level actions against the two Clarksville IDs (110006496443 and 110004953033) tell a quieter story. ECHO records no quarters-with-noncompliance flagged against these IDs in the 24-month window ending May 4, 2026, and no active permits are currently listed [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $4,240,000 figure in the slug summary is an allocated share of enterprise-level RCRA settlement dollars under ECHO's published derivation formula, not a facility-specific fine [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No Clean Water Act or Clean Air Act federal actions are recorded against the Clarksville IDs in the review window.

Facility 1 — UPS Clarksville, IN (ECHO ID 110006496443). A courier/ground-parcel operation in Clarksville, Indiana, sitting in Clark County across the Ohio River from Louisville. ECHO records zero noncompliance quarters in the trailing 24 months and no active permits. The EJ index average is reported as 0.0 in the extract, which reflects null or unpopulated demographic overlays rather than a measured absence of exposure [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Facility 2 — UPS Clarksville secondary site (ECHO ID 110004953033). The second Clarksville-tagged facility in the ECHO inventory also reports zero noncompliance quarters and no active permit activity through May 4, 2026, with the latest permit-file activity dated June 27, 2025 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Enterprise context — UPS parent slug (UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC). The parent-level ECHO record shows 11 facilities, 8 noncompliance quarters in the 24-month window and $10,640,000 in derived penalty allocation — materially higher than the Clarksville unit on every metric [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Enterprise context — UNITED PARCEL SERVICES slug. A secondary UPS-affiliated slug lists 10 facilities, 6 noncompliance quarters and $6,424,160 in allocated penalties over 24 months [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Enterprise context — UNITED PARCEL SVC slug. A third UPS-linked record under NAICS 49211 carries 16 facilities, 6 noncompliance quarters and $5,760,000 in allocated penalties [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Taken together, Clarksville sits toward the low end of the UPS footprint on flagged-quarter count, while the enterprise as a whole shoulders a multi-slug RCRA corrective burden spread across all three sibling records.

The ECHO extract for the Clarksville node lists no top pollutants. The top_pollutants array is empty and the EJ index average is recorded as 0.0, consistent with a parcel-handling facility that is not a Toxic Release Inventory major-reporter [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Substantive pollutant context therefore derives from the underlying RCRA enforcement record rather than routine emissions monitoring.

Hazardous waste (RCRA-regulated). The October 2022 nationwide consent agreement alleged failures including non-performance of land-disposal determinations and improper on-site management of hazardous waste at parcel-handling sites [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Typical waste streams at courier hubs include damaged-package residues — lithium-ion battery electrolyte, aerosols, solvents, laboratory samples, pharmaceutical returns — and fleet-maintenance residuals such as used oil and brake fluid. Exposure pathways run through worker handling, stormwater runoff from loading aprons, and truck-idling air emissions.

Diesel and mobile-source emissions. UPS's FY2025 10-K describes an integrated air and ground network delivering 5.2 billion packages in 2025, with the parent's 2025 Statement on Climate Change framing GHG reduction as a corporate position [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm] [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/images/our-impact/reporting/2025-ups-climate-change-statement.pdf]. Diesel particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and fine particulates (PM2.5) are the dominant off-site exposure pathway at courier hubs. Those same pollutants drive the environmental-justice concerns flagged in the As You Sow resolution [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

Brownfields-adjacent context. Clarksville, Indiana was named by EPA as a recipient of brownfield remediation funding, indicating a local regulatory focus on legacy contamination in the community surrounding the UPS footprint [source: https://www.whas11.com/article/news/local/indiana/clarksville-epa-grant-clean-up-brownfields/417-8c5f353f-d52f-]. That designation adds a layer of community-level exposure history that the ECHO EJ null values do not capture.

The NAICS 492110 peer set in the ECHO extract is populated almost entirely by alternative slugs of UPS itself, reflecting how the parent's facility portfolio is distributed across multiple legal-name strings in the federal dataset. The comparison is therefore internal rather than competitive. Against those three sibling slugs, the Clarksville unit — 0 flagged quarters, $4.24 million allocated — sits below the parent UPS Inc slug (8 quarters, $10.64 million), below the secondary "UNITED PARCEL SERVICES" record (6 quarters, $6.42 million), and below "UNITED PARCEL SVC" (6 quarters, $5.76 million) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Clarksville therefore reads as a comparatively quiet node inside a larger enterprise footprint that carries the bulk of the 2021 and 2022 RCRA consent-agreement obligations [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

UPS's FY2025 Form 10-K, filed February 17, 2026, frames forward strategy around the "Customer First, People Led, Innovation Driven" program, the Frigo-Trans and Andlauer Healthcare Group acquisitions, and the December 2025 USPS final-mile agreement covering Ground Saver and Mail Innovations volumes in 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. Each of those initiatives carries forward environmental-compliance implications tied to fleet emissions, cold-chain handling and hazardous-materials transport. The 10-K's Item 1A discussion directs investors to monitor disclosures filed with the SEC and posted to the Investor Relations website, and notes that the company "does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements" except as required by law [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. Fast Company's February 2026 reporting on nearly two dozen planned facility closures adds a structural variable: as the ECHO facility inventory contracts, the distribution of allocated penalty figures across remaining reporting units will shift in ways that may affect how Clarksville reads in future extracts [source: https://www.fastcompany.com/91494908/ups-closing-package-facilities-2026-full-list-doomed-locations-states]. The Q3 2025 Form 10-Q disclosed no additional material environmental proceedings in the excerpt captured [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828025049661/ups-20250930.htm].
