Iowa and Missouri truck stops agree to EPA fine
The owner of truck stops in Iowa and Missouri has agreed to a fine to resolve alleged EPA violations.
Information from the EPA says the Iowa 80 Group has agreed to pay nearly $391,000 after allegations of Clean Water Act violations against the Iowa 80 truck stop near Walcott, Iowa, and the Joplin 44 in Joplin, Missouri. The EPA says a 2023 inspection discovered the two truck stops failed to develop a spill prevention and countermeasure plan required for businesses that store large amounts of oil in above-ground tanks.
The Iowa 80 truck stop is billed as the “world’s largest truck stop” and will pay $204,000 of the fine. The EPA says the two truck stops have also come up with spill management plans to comply with the federal regulations.
