UNITED PARCEL SERVICE - ROSWELL

United Parcel Service - Roswell (NAICS 492110; parent UPS, CIK 0001090727) operates two EPA-registered facilities in Roswell, New Mexico tied to the broader UPS ground and freight network. ECHO data as of May 4, 2026 records 4 quarters of non-compliance in the trailing 24 months and $3.64 million in derived penalties across the two facility IDs (110004281214, 110005710542) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No active permits are currently listed for the Roswell footprint. The most recent permit action on file is dated March 28, 2025 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The parent entity reported $88.7 billion in 2025 revenue and 5.2 billion packages delivered in its February 17, 2026 Form 10-K [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm].

Two federal RCRA settlements define the enforcement backdrop for UPS's national footprint. The first, announced June 16, 2021, was an EPA Region 6 consent order covering 183 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 settlement covering 1,160 facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Roswell sits within the geographic scope of the earlier Region 6 order and inherits obligations from both. Separately, a shareholder resolution filed November 13, 2025 requests a third-party environmental justice audit of UPS operations [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

Two consecutive federal RCRA resolutions pulled UPS facilities in New Mexico into a coordinated compliance program, and the Roswell footprint sits squarely inside both. On June 16, 2021, EPA Region 6 announced a Consent Agreement and Final Order with UPS and TForce Freight, Inc. requiring corrective action at 183 locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas, 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]. The alleged violations centered on hazardous waste handling — specifically, failures tied to waste characterization and on-site management. Roswell facilities fall within that geographic scope.

Sixteen months later, on October 19, 2022, EPA announced a substantially larger nationwide consent agreement with UPS covering 1,160 facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico. The alleged conduct included failure to make land disposal determinations and deficient on-site management of hazardous waste [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Third-party regulatory analysis characterized the 2022 action as one of the largest hazardous-waste-generator settlements against a single corporate family in recent memory [source: https://blog.stpub.com/epa-ups-settlement-provides-reminder-to-get-hazardous-waste-compliance-details-right]. The Roswell facilities inherit the corrective-action obligations and environmental management system changes that flow from that order.

Within the trailing 24 months tracked by ECHO, the two Roswell facility IDs register 4 quarters of non-compliance and a derived $3.64 million in penalty exposure, computed as total_5yr × (24/60) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. That derivation method matters. The displayed penalty figure is an apportioned share of multi-year settlements rather than a facility-specific fine issued in the 24-month window. Readers should treat the $3.64 million as an allocation from the 2021 and 2022 national and regional settlements, not a fresh Roswell-specific sanction. One additional variable is now in motion. UPS announced on April 28, 2026 that it will eliminate 51 parcel distribution centers during 2026, including 27 additional closures layered onto earlier announcements [source: https://www.freightwaves.com/news/ups-to-close-27-additional-parcel-facilities-in-2026]. Network consolidation of that scale typically reshapes the hazardous-waste generator status of remaining nodes — a factor ECHO will not reflect until future quarters post. The most recent permit-related activity logged for the Roswell IDs is dated March 28, 2025 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

Action 1 — EPA Region 6 Consent Agreement and Final Order, announced June 16, 2021. Respondents: United Parcel Service, Inc. and TForce Freight, Inc. Program: RCRA (hazardous waste). Geographic scope: 183 facilities across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas, which includes the Roswell footprint. Outcome: $3.8 million civil penalty plus 24-month compliance obligations and enhanced internal compliance programs [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement].

Action 2 — EPA nationwide Consent Agreement and Final Order, announced October 19, 2022. Respondent: United Parcel Service, Inc. Program: RCRA. Scope: 1,160 facilities across 45 states and Puerto Rico. Alleged conduct as described by EPA: failure to make land disposal determinations and deficient on-site management of hazardous waste. Outcome: consent agreement requiring implementation of environmental policies to prevent future non-compliance [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Industry compliance analysts noted the settlement's emphasis on generator-status determinations and universal waste handling as a signal to the broader freight sector [source: https://blog.stpub.com/epa-ups-settlement-provides-reminder-to-get-hazardous-waste-compliance-details-right].

Action 3 — ECHO-derived non-compliance for Roswell facility IDs 110004281214 and 110005710542. Period: trailing 24 months ending May 4, 2026. Count: 4 quarters of non-compliance. Derived penalty allocation: $3.64 million, calculated as five-year total × (24/60) [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. No separately announced Roswell-specific judicial or administrative action appears in the research bundle for the 24-month window. The ECHO signal reflects the facility's apportioned share of the 2021 and 2022 national and regional settlements rather than a discrete new case.

Roswell, NM — Facility ID 110004281214. ECHO classifies this site within the UPS Roswell cluster under NAICS 492110. It contributes to the 4-quarter non-compliance count across the trailing 24 months and shares the derived $3.64 million penalty allocation with its sister ID [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The facility falls within the EPA Region 6 geographic scope captured by the June 16, 2021 consent order [source: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/united-parcel-service-inc-ups-settlement].

Roswell, NM — Facility ID 110005710542. The second of the two ECHO-registered Roswell IDs, also categorized under NAICS 492110. The most recent permit-related date on file is March 28, 2025, with no currently active permits indicated [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. Like its sister facility, it sits within the compliance scope of both the 2021 Region 6 order and the October 19, 2022 nationwide RCRA settlement [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide].

Contextual site — Lea and West Second Street Superfund Site, Roswell, NM. This is not a UPS-owned or UPS-operated site. EPA's Superfund profile identifies four Operable Units in Chaves County where soil and groundwater have been impacted primarily by chlorinated solvents from historical dry-cleaning operations [source: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0607057]. The site is cited here for geographic context because it establishes that Roswell's subsurface environment already carries a documented chlorinated-solvent contamination profile — relevant to any future land-use or due-diligence review, but not attributed to UPS.

UPS national parent — 11 facilities in the parent ECHO record show 8 quarters of non-compliance and $10.64 million in 24-month derived penalties, providing the apex reference point against which the Roswell sub-footprint is measured [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

United Parcel Services (affiliate roll-up) — 10 facilities, 6 quarters of 24-month non-compliance, $6.42 million in derived penalties, NAICS 492110 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

ECHO's top-pollutants array for the Roswell facilities is empty in the current export. That gap reflects the enforcement driver here: RCRA hazardous-waste generator compliance rather than permitted air or water discharge [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The substantive pollutant picture must therefore be read from the underlying RCRA settlements themselves.

Hazardous waste (RCRA Subtitle C). EPA's October 19, 2022 announcement identifies failure to make land disposal determinations and improper on-site management of hazardous waste as central allegations [source: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/ups-settles-epa-correct-alleged-hazardous-waste-violations-nationwide]. Waste streams typical of parcel and freight operations include damaged-shipment residues, aerosols, lithium batteries, and used electronics — each of which can trigger hazardous-waste characterization obligations when mishandled.

Chlorinated solvents (geographic context, not UPS-attributed). The Lea and West Second Street Superfund Site in Roswell documents groundwater and soil impacts from chlorinated solvents, specifically tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE), tied to historical dry-cleaning activity [source: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0607057]. PCE and TCE are classified by EPA as a likely and a known human carcinogen, respectively, with inhalation and ingestion pathways relevant to communities near contaminated groundwater plumes. This context is included for environmental-justice framing of the Roswell airshed and groundwater basin. It is not a UPS-attributed release.

EJ indicators. ECHO reports an EJ index average of 0.0 for the two Roswell IDs. That figure reflects either unpopulated buffer zones or missing EJScreen joins in the export rather than a definitive absence of exposure [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The As You Sow resolution filed November 13, 2025 specifically asks UPS to commission a third-party environmental justice audit, citing the financial materiality of pollution-exposure concentration in vulnerable communities [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].

Within NAICS 492110, the three largest UPS-affiliated ECHO records by 24-month derived penalty carry $10.64 million, $6.42 million, and $5.76 million respectively, against corresponding 24-month non-compliance quarter counts of 8, 6, and 6 [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip]. The Roswell sub-footprint — 4 quarters of non-compliance and $3.64 million in derived penalties — sits at a fraction of the consolidated UPS parent record spanning 11 facilities, 8 quarters, and $10.64 million. That ratio is consistent with its two-facility scope. All three peer roll-ups show an ECHO EJ index average of 0.0, which, as noted in the pollutant context section, reflects export-level EJScreen join coverage rather than a substantive EJ finding [source: https://echo.epa.gov/files/echodownloads/echo_exporter.zip].

UPS's February 17, 2026 Form 10-K directs investors to forward-looking-statement cautions and frames 2025 strategic execution around three concrete moves: healthcare logistics expansion through the Frigo-Trans and Andlauer Healthcare Group acquisitions, RFID-based Smart Package Smart Facility deployment, and a December 2025 USPS final-mile agreement for Ground Saver and Mail Innovations volumes beginning in 2026 [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. The Item 1A excerpt states that UPS does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as required by law. Item 7's MD&A table of contents covers liquidity, collective bargaining, and critical accounting estimates without surfacing quantified environmental liability disclosures in the excerpt provided [source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1090727/000162828026008432/ups-20251231.htm]. Two factors shape forward exposure specifically for the Roswell footprint. First, the 51-facility 2026 network reduction announced April 28, 2026 can alter hazardous-waste generator status at remaining sites as waste volumes concentrate [source: https://www.freightwaves.com/news/ups-to-close-27-additional-parcel-facilities-in-2026]. Second, the As You Sow EJ audit resolution filed November 13, 2025 remains pending, and its outcome could expand the scope of community-exposure disclosures required of the parent [source: https://www.asyousow.org/resolutions/2025/11/13-ups-third-party-environmental-justice-audit].
