On September 20, 2013, a consent decree was entered regarding PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer (PCS) alleged Clean Air Act violations at its phosphoric acid facility located in Geismar, Louisiana. The settlement resolves PCS�s Clean Air Act violations at its cooling tower operations, which use scrubbers to control air emissions from its phosphoric acid processing equipment, and the failure to regularly certify the prevention of effluent being introduced into the cooling tower, as required by the Louisiana SIP and Title V of the CAA. Under the settlement, PCS will prevent the release of 15 million pounds of hydrogen fluoride, a hazardous air pollutant annually and will pay a civil penalty of $198,825.30. PCS has already implemented the pollution controls sought in the settlement.
