Summary

Degussa has owned and operated a carbon black facility since April 4, 2002. Degussa purchased and utilized feedstock oil with a sulfur content higher than their Permit to Install and Title V Permits allowed. EPA entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order with Degussa Engineered Carbons, LP of Belpre, Ohio. EPA alleged Degussa violated the Ohio State Implementation Plan and Title V permit program when it purchased and utilized feedstock with a sulfur content higher than its operating permits allowed. This Order will require Degussa to pay a penalty of $105,000 and spend $245,000 to perform a Supplemental Environmental Project to replace old wood stoves in southeast Ohio with new, less polluting models.
