UNITED PARCEL SERVICE NEW WINDSOR NYWIN

The UPS facility in New Windsor, NY (FRS ID 110019244076) is one sortation hub within a ground network that moved 5.2 billion packages in 2025. EPA ECHO data as of 2026-05-05 records zero violations at that location across the trailing 24 months. The $2.12 million penalty figure in the ECHO summary is a derived allocation — the exporter formula prorates the parent entity's five-year penalty total to the 24-month window, not a discrete charge assessed against New Windsor itself [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The site's most recent permit action dates to February 19, 2009. EPA's Environmental Justice index for the surrounding block group reads 0.0 in the ECHO export. UPS Inc. (CIK 0001090727) posted $88.7 billion in 2025 revenue and delivered 5.2 billion packages during the year, per the 10-K filed February 17, 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm].

Two federal enforcement actions at the corporate level frame that facility-level data. On June 16, 2021, EPA Region 6 settled alleged RCRA hazardous waste violations across 183 UPS and TForce Freight facilities spanning Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas — a $3.8 million civil penalty and a 24-month compliance schedule [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. EPA's headquarters followed on October 19, 2022, with a nationwide RCRA settlement covering 1,160 UPS facilities [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Neither action names New Windsor in the published settlement materials reviewed for this brief.

EPA ECHO records for the New Windsor facility (FRS 110019244076) show zero violations over the 24 months ending 2026-05-05, no active permits, and a most-recent permit date of February 19, 2009 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $2,120,000 figure in the ECHO summary is not a site-specific assessed penalty. It is a derived allocation: the exporter formula prorates the parent entity's five-year penalty total to a 24-month window — total_5yr × 24/60 — and EPA publishes the full methodology at the download host [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Two corporate-level settlements bracket the period. On June 16, 2021, EPA Region 6 issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order resolving alleged RCRA hazardous waste violations at 183 UPS and TForce Freight facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. The respondents accepted a 24-month compliance schedule and a $3.8 million civil penalty [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. EPA Region 6 attributed the expedited resolution partly to respondent cooperation and the agreement to build enhanced compliance programs. EPA's headquarters then announced, on October 19, 2022, a nationwide RCRA settlement covering 1,160 UPS facilities and requiring UPS to implement environmental policies to prevent future noncompliance [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

The New Windsor FRS record carries no open permit interests. No quarter-by-quarter noncompliance flag appears in the 24-month rolling window pulled on 2026-05-05 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Sister New York facilities — among them UPS Queen North–NYLIC (FRS 110001594169) — appear in EPA's registry as separately registered entries with their own program-system identifiers [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_detail.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110001594169]. UPS published its 2024 GRI Report on March 20, 2025; covering January 1 through December 31, 2024, it is the most recent comprehensive ESG disclosure on record [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/images/our-impact/reporting/2024-UPS-GRI-Report.pdf]. The 10-Q filed November 5, 2025, contains no environmental enforcement disclosure in the excerpted section [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828025049661/ups-20250930.htm].

Action 1 — EPA Region 6 RCRA Settlement (June 16, 2021). Program: RCRA hazardous waste. Respondents: United Parcel Service, Inc. and TForce Freight, Inc. Geographic scope: 183 facilities across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. The Consent Agreement and Final Order required a 24-month compliance correction schedule at all 183 covered locations and imposed a civil penalty of $3,800,000 [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. EPA Region 6 attributed the expedited resolution to respondent cooperation and the agreement to establish enhanced compliance programs.

Action 2 — EPA National RCRA Settlement (October 19, 2022). Program: RCRA hazardous waste. Respondent: United Parcel Service, Inc. Geographic scope: 1,160 UPS facilities nationwide. The settlement required UPS to implement environmental policies designed to prevent future noncompliance, as announced by EPA's headquarters press office [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

Facility-level enforcement at New Windsor (FRS 110019244076): EPA ECHO returns zero violations and no formal enforcement actions within the 24-month window through 2026-05-05 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The $2.12 million in the ECHO summary is a model-derived prorated allocation. It is not a site-specific assessed penalty and should be read against the EPA exporter derivation note — viol_24mo=min(qtrs_with_nc,8); penalty_24mo=total_5yr*(24/60) — published at the download host [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

1. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE NEW WINDSOR NYWIN (New Windsor, NY; FRS 110019244076). This is the subject facility. EPA ECHO returns zero violations over 24 months, no active permits, and a latest permit date of February 19, 2009. The recorded EJ index average for the surrounding block group is 0.0 in the ECHO export [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

2. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE — QUEEN NORTH-NYLIC (New York, NY; FRS 110001594169). EPA's FRS detail records this as a separately registered UPS facility with its own program-system linkages. The FRS detail page is the entry point for cross-program identifier lookups for this location [source: https://frs-public.epa.gov/ords/frs_public2/fii_query_detail.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110001594169].

3. UPS Region 6 Cluster (AR, LA, OK, NM, TX). The June 16, 2021, EPA Region 6 settlement named 183 facilities and required corrective action over 24 months under RCRA [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. Specific facility addresses appear in the Consent Agreement and Final Order linked from that EPA settlement page.

4. UPS National RCRA Cluster (1,160 facilities). The October 19, 2022, EPA national settlement covered 1,160 UPS sites and required corporate-level environmental policy changes [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. For a reader focused on a single facility, the breadth of that action is the most relevant data point: a New Windsor-scale operation sits within a hazardous waste compliance program of corporate scope.

5. Staten Island, NY service area (delivery practices, not an EPA-regulated facility). On April 28, 2026, The New York Times reported that UPS will not deliver inside two Staten Island residential buildings, citing driver assaults that occurred decades ago, with residents now pursuing civil litigation [source: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/nyregion/ups-staten-island-packages-lines.html]. This matter is service delivery and civil litigation, not environmental enforcement; it appears here only to disambiguate New York-state UPS coverage in current news.

The ECHO summary for FRS 110019244076 returns an empty top-pollutants list and no active permit. No facility-specific Toxics Release Inventory or air-emissions inventory is associated with the New Windsor record in the 2026-05-05 export [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The pollutant picture relevant to UPS at the parent level comes from the program citations in the 2021 and 2022 EPA settlements.

Hazardous waste under RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act). Both UPS settlements were brought under RCRA's hazardous waste generator and shipping requirements. EPA's enforcement page for the June 16, 2021, Region 6 action describes alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations at parcel facilities; under RCRA, these can include improper accumulation, labeling, manifesting, or storage of small-quantity-generator and large-quantity-generator waste streams [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement]. Exposure pathway risk concentrates at and immediately downwind or downgradient of generator sites. Community-level environmental justice implications depend on the demographics of host census block groups, which EPA tracks through EJScreen.

Fleet-related criteria air pollutants. UPS's 2024 GRI Report frames the company's emissions footprint primarily around CO2 from ground and air operations and cites a 2035 target of a 50% reduction in CO2 per global small package against a 2020 baseline [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/images/our-impact/reporting/2024-UPS-GRI-Report.pdf]. NOx and PM2.5 from diesel operations remain the criteria-pollutant exposure pathway most directly tied to last-mile delivery and sortation hubs. UPS's 2021 ESG highlights brochure indexes alternative-fuel and renewable-electricity targets for ground operations [source: https://about.ups.com/content/dam/upsstories/assets/social-impact/2021-esg-highlights-brochure/en_en_2021SustainabilityBrochure_V15.pdf.pdf].

Stormwater and petroleum products. Parcel sortation and ground-fleet maintenance facilities typically carry stormwater general-permit obligations under the Clean Water Act, along with underground and aboveground storage tank obligations. The New Windsor record shows no active permit and a latest permit date of February 19, 2009, which limits public-record visibility of any ongoing Clean Water Act exposure pathway at this specific site [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Within NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), the three highest penalty-totaling peer entries in the EPA ECHO export are all UPS-name variants, reflecting how EPA's facility registry records UPS sub-entities. The parent record "UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC (UPS)" carries 8 violations and a $10.64 million 24-month penalty allocation across 11 facilities. New Windsor's single-facility record sits below that peer set on both measures — zero violations, $2.12 million derived allocation [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The peer EJ index average reads 0.0 across all three benchmark rows. That figure reflects either a clean demographic exposure profile or a gap in the export's EJ population mapping for these specific facility coordinates; it should be read alongside EPA's EJScreen tool rather than in isolation [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UPS's 10-K filed February 17, 2026, for fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, frames forward-looking risk through disclosure-obligation language tied to Regulation FD, with material updates posted to investors.ups.com. The Item 1A excerpt in the research bundle does not yield an environmental-specific risk paragraph; the text covers forward-looking-statement disclaimers and Item 1 Business Overview content — more than 200 countries served, 5.2 billion packages delivered in 2025, $88.7 billion in revenue [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. The 10-Q filed November 5, 2025, carries no environmental excerpt in the bundle reviewed [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828025049661/ups-20250930.htm].
