Executive summary
Current state
A commercial office building in Washington DC has documented 8 consecutive quarters of unresolved RCRA hazardous waste violations with active enforcement actions, creating a persistent compliance gap where the building owner lacks technical expertise despite regulatory pressure and escalating penalties.
Market catalyst
EPA's ECHO database contains granular compliance data but requires technical expertise to extract, analyze, and interpret. Law firms and property managers need this intelligence to advise clients/manage risk but lack data science capabilities. The Willard case demonstrates pattern: 8 quarters of violations with specific types (261.A, 262.A) that likely repeat across similar buildings.
