The United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Anchor Hocking CG Operating Co. LLC/Global Home Products LLC for alleged clean-air violations at the company's glass manufacturing plant in Lancaster, Ohio.
EPA alleges that Anchor modified the plant causing a significant increase in particulate (smoke, dust, ash) emissions without getting a state permit that would require adequate emission controls.
These are preliminary findings of violations. To resolve them, EPA may issue a compliance order, assess an administrative penalty or bring suit against the company. Anchor has 30 days from receipt of the notice to meet with EPA to discuss resolving the allegations.
