Summary

U.S. EPA Region 5 issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) to GFX International, Inc. to resolve violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA). On January 25, 2008, EPA issued to GFX a Finding and Notice of Violation (NOV/FOV) pertaining to its facility in Grayslake, Illinois. The NOV/FOV alleged that toluene (a regulated HAP) emissions from a clean-up solvent used in the company's screen printing operations exceeded permitting thresholds, and that GFX had failed undergo New Source Review and a case-by-case MACT determination as required by Section 112(g) of the CAA prior to constructing its facility in 1999. The CAFO requires GFX to pay a penalty of $100,000 and perform $264,000 in Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs). This enforcement action has reduced HAP emissions from GFX's Grayslake facility by nearly 18 tons annually, and upon completion of the SEPs, VOC emissions from GFX will further decrease by nearly 2 additional tons per year.
