A Warren-based boat manufacturer agreed to pay $195,000 for violating federal regulations by failing to report emissions, monitor pollution-control devices and using chemicals that have too high a percentage of hazardous material, the New England office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said yesterday.

The EPA initially asked Pearson Composites to pay $264,000, with the final number negotiated down after meetings between the two parties’ lawyers.

Violations listed on the EPA’s complaint were:

•Failure to prepare and submit a notification of compliance and plan to fix violations

•Failure to meet average yearly emission limits

•Failure to conduct a monthly visual inspection of potentially hazardous materials to make sure they are stored properly

•Using two substances that had too great a concentration of hazardous air pollutants

•Failure to report air pollution levels from September 2005 to February 2007

The company has come into compliance after the EPA inspected the facility in June 2006 and filed a subsequent complaint in August 2007.

Patrick Burke, the chief executive officer of Pearson Composites, said his company has fixed all the violations brought forth by the EPA and hired an environmental consultant to keep the company in compliance.

Pearson has about 150 employees and manufactures fiberglass sailboats and powerboats.

The company continued to operate while it addressed its environmental problems, said EPA lawyer Greg Dains. The agency shuts down businesses only if there is “extreme environmental harm occurring,” Dains said.
