Court Vacates EPA Stop Sale Order on American Vanguard Corporation's PCNB
Friday, 19 Aug 2011 09:00am EDT 

American Vanguard Corporation announced that the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia has granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment and vacated the Stop Sale, Use or Removal Order that had been issued in August 2010 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency relating to the Company’s USEPA-registered pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) product line. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Amvac Chemical Corporation, manufactures, distributes and sells PCNB as a fungicide for use primarily on turf. The Company’s motion sought relief on various grounds, including denial of due process. In reaching its decision, the court found that the agency official who signed the SSURO lacked the authority to issue such an order. Because SSURO was invalid on this ground, the court did not address AMVAC’s other challenges. The court remanded the matter to the USEPA for any further proceedings as it may deem appropriate.  Full Article
