UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - HAGERSTOWN (MDHAG)

United Parcel Service's Hagerstown, Maryland facilities (MDHAG cluster, EPA registry IDs 110003537815 and 110006626589) sit within the company's broader U.S. ground network, which has been the subject of multi-state EPA enforcement activity. ECHO data as of 2026-05-09 shows zero quarters of noncompliance in the trailing 24 months at the two Hagerstown registry IDs, but a derived penalty allocation of $2,120,000 over 24 months — a figure that flows from EPA's national consent agreement reached on 2022-10-19 resolving alleged hazardous-waste violations 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]. The Hagerstown ZIP is also home to the Central Chemical Superfund site, an unrelated legacy contamination footprint that shapes local environmental-justice baselines [source: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0303260].

UPS reported 2025 revenue of $88.7 billion and an average of 20.8 million packages per day [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. The company's 2024 GRI Report restates a target of carbon neutrality by 2050, 100% renewable electricity by 2035, and 30% sustainable aviation fuel by 2035 [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/images/our-impact/reporting/2024-UPS-GRI-Report.pdf]. ECHO records the two Hagerstown nodes as carrying no active permits at the snapshot date, and EJ index averages are reported as 0.0 in the dataset, indicating either non-screening status or unsuppressed null fields rather than a measured low-burden finding [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

ECHO's 2026-05-09 snapshot for the Hagerstown MDHAG cluster reports facility_count=2, violation_count_24mo=0, active_permits_count=0, and penalty_total_24mo=$2,120,000 derived as total_5yr * (24/60) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The derivation note is material: the dollar figure is an apportionment of a longer five-year penalty window into a 24-month slice, not a finding of fresh enforcement activity in the trailing 24 months. The two registry IDs (110003537815, 110006626589) carry zero quarters with noncompliance flagged in the standard ECHO eight-quarter window.

The national context that shapes the derived penalty is the 2022-10-19 EPA consent agreement and final order resolving alleged Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous-waste violations 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]. EPA's release describes failures to make land disposal determinations and to conduct proper on-site management of hazardous waste; UPS agreed to implement a corporate environmental compliance program. Maryland regional coverage of the same settlement was carried by WUSA9 on 2022-10-19 [source: https://www.wusa9.com/article/tech/science/environment/epa-ups-pay-fine-correct-hazardous-waste-violations/65-bcabb0f7-1daa-4643-b576-e36a2f0e061d]. The Hagerstown locality has a longer environmental record at the ZIP-code level driven by other parties: a 2014-01-13 EPA news release describes Phoenix Color Corp. settling hazardous-waste violations at a separate Hagerstown facility, and the Central Chemical (Hagerstown) Superfund site is an active EPA cleanup [source: https://www.epa.gov/archive/epapages/newsroom_archive/newsreleases/01d59e31ca0b543d85257c6000449af3.html] [source: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0303260].

In the 2024–2026 window, UPS's own SEC filings reference an unspecified incident-related contingency. The 10-Q filed 2026-05-06 states the company recorded immaterial contingencies related to environmental remediation and other claims as of 2026-03-31 and 2025-12-31, with corresponding insurance recoveries booked, and that resolution "could result in additional charges and related insurance recoveries in future periods, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated" [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026031154/ups-20260331.htm]. No Brave news, NGO, or state-violation hits surfaced for the Hagerstown facilities in the 2025-05 to 2026-05 window in the bundle reviewed.

The dominant enforcement action shaping the Hagerstown allocation is the 2022-10-19 nationwide consent agreement and final order between EPA and UPS resolving alleged RCRA hazardous-waste violations 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]. Per EPA's release, the alleged violations included failure to make land disposal determinations and improper on-site management of hazardous waste; UPS agreed to implement environmental policies to prevent future noncompliance. WUSA9 reported the same settlement on 2022-10-19, framing it as a UPS payment plus a corrective program [source: https://www.wusa9.com/article/tech/science/environment/epa-ups-pay-fine-correct-hazardous-waste-violations/65-bcabb0f7-1daa-4643-b576-e36a2f0e061d].

For the two Hagerstown registry IDs (110003537815 and 110006626589), ECHO records zero quarters with noncompliance in the trailing eight-quarter window and zero formal enforcement actions tied directly to those IDs in the snapshot under review [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $2,120,000 figure attributed to the 24-month window is an arithmetic share of the five-year penalty total apportioned to the 24-month slice (24/60 derivation). Program attribution at the Hagerstown level is therefore RCRA-program-derived in flow, not a CWA or CAA action originating at MDHAG.

A separate, older Hagerstown enforcement record exists at a different operator: Phoenix Color Corp. settled hazardous-waste violations at its Hagerstown facility per an EPA news release dated 2014-01-13 [source: https://www.epa.gov/archive/epapages/newsroom_archive/newsreleases/01d59e31ca0b543d85257c6000449af3.html]. That action involves a different company and is included only as locality context, not as a UPS Hagerstown enforcement event.

Hagerstown registry ID 110003537815 (Maryland) — One of two ECHO IDs comprising the MDHAG cluster. ECHO data shows zero quarters of noncompliance in the trailing 24 months and no active permits at the snapshot date; the derived $2,120,000 24-month penalty is an apportionment of the cluster's five-year total [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. EJ index average is reported as 0.0, which in this dataset signals either non-screened status or null-field passthrough rather than a measured low-burden finding.

Hagerstown registry ID 110006626589 (Maryland) — The second registry ID in the MDHAG cluster. Same compliance state in ECHO: zero quarters of noncompliance in the eight-quarter window, zero active permits, and a derived 24-month penalty share that flows from the 2022 nationwide RCRA consent order [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip] [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC (UPS) — peer roll-up entity, 11 facilities — In the same NAICS 492110 segment, this peer record shows 8 violations in 24 months and a $10,640,000 24-month penalty total, the highest among the three peer rows benchmarked [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UNITED PARCEL SERVICES — peer entity, 10 facilities — 6 violations in 24 months and $6,424,160 in 24-month penalties, second highest in the peer rows [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UNITED PARCEL SVC — peer entity, 16 facilities — 6 violations in 24 months and $5,760,000 in 24-month penalties; the largest peer by facility count in the bundle [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The Hagerstown MDHAG cluster's two-facility, zero-violation profile sits well below all three peer roll-ups on a per-facility basis.

The ECHO snapshot for the Hagerstown MDHAG cluster lists no top_pollutants, consistent with the cluster's zero-active-permits and zero-noncompliance-quarter status in the trailing 24 months [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Pollutant context for this cluster therefore flows from the program associated with the 2022 nationwide consent order — RCRA hazardous-waste handling — rather than from CWA discharge or CAA emission monitoring at the Hagerstown IDs.

RCRA hazardous-waste streams at parcel and freight terminals can include solvent-bearing wipes, lithium and lead-acid battery components, and small-quantity-generator container management. EPA's 2022-10-19 release describes the alleged violations as including failure to make land disposal determinations and improper on-site management of hazardous waste, which are the two RCRA control points most relevant to terminal-style operations [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

Local pollutant exposure context in Hagerstown is heavily shaped by non-UPS legacy contamination. The Central Chemical (Hagerstown) Superfund site profile documents the long-running EPA cleanup at that property [source: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0303260]. A 2003 EPA Superfund Redevelopment Initiative report covered community-based planning around the same site [source: https://semspub.epa.gov/src/document/03/900077]. A 2004 Capital News Service article reported a rise in hazardous-material spills in Hagerstown driven primarily by a then-FedEx Freight East Service Center near I-81 — a different operator from UPS — with reported spills including lye, sulfuric acid, ethanol, hydrochloric acid, and xylenes [source: https://cnsmaryland.org/2004/12/17/hagerstown-hazmat-spills-on-the-rise/]. These references are locality context, not UPS Hagerstown-specific pollutant data.

Within NAICS 492110/49211 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), the three peer roll-ups in the bundle are themselves UPS-named entity records, reflecting the way ECHO indexes large multi-facility operators under multiple registry strings. Combined, the three peer rows account for 37 facilities, 20 violations in the trailing 24 months, and approximately $22.8 million in apportioned penalties [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The Hagerstown MDHAG cluster's two-facility, zero-violation, $2.12 million-allocated profile is below the per-facility average across each of the three peer roll-ups (UPS Inc roll-up: ~0.73 violations/facility, $967K/facility; UPS Services: 0.6 violations/facility, $642K/facility; UPS Svc: 0.375 violations/facility, $360K/facility). EJ index averages are reported as 0.0 across all three peer rows, which in this dataset reflects null-field passthrough rather than a measured non-burden result, and comparative EJ analysis is therefore not supportable from the provided fields.

UPS's 2025 10-K Item 1A excerpt is dominated by forward-looking-statement framing rather than discrete environmental risk language in the portion provided, but the company directs investors to its SEC filings and IR site for material updates and reiterates that it does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as required by law [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. The 10-Q filed 2026-05-06 adds the most current forward-looking environmental disclosure in the bundle: the company has recorded immaterial environmental remediation contingencies with offsetting insurance recoveries as of 2026-03-31, is subject to claims and litigation arising out of an unspecified incident, and states that resolution "could result in additional charges and related insurance recoveries in future periods, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time" [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026031154/ups-20260331.htm].
