EPA alleged that KOG violated NESHAP 6S because it failed to: comply with the provisions of NESHAP 6S until after it installed the five new day tank glass furnaces; install certain emissions control equipment; conduct required performance testing to demonstrate compliance with NESHAP 6S?s emissions limitations; perform required monitoring any time the affected furnace is producing glass that is charged with one or more of the glass manufacturing metal HAP; and is operating the Kokomo plant without a Title V permit as required by NESHAP 6S.
This CAFO requires KOG to pay a penalty of $25,000 and resolves the FOV issued to KOG on April 8, 2016.
In addition, KOG will be signing an Administrative Consent Order requiring it to fully comply with NESHAP 6S and to submit an application for a Title V permit.
