EPA Cites Glass Maker for Violations

Environmental agency claims Anchor Hocking committed violations of Clean Air Act.

 

 

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.
