EPA issued Notices of Violation and Opportunity to Confer (NOVOCs) to IP on September 30, 2021, and June 21, 2023, for alleged violations of Louisiana's federally approved State Implementation Plan (SIP), as incorporated into the Facility's Title V Permit; the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at 40 CFR Part 60; and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) at 40 CFR Part 63 at the Facility.
