This case addresses violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by White Storm Inc. d.b.a. Swiss Clean Inc., ( White Storm ) a wholesaler of janitorial supplies located in Kentwood, Michigan. Sometime after January 1, 2010, White Storm converted 45 gasoline egines to run on propane. As a result, the engines were no longer covered by an EPA issued certificate of conformity (COC) as required by the CAA.

As part of the settlement with EPA, White Storm has agreed to pay a $16,000 civil penalty.
