U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Stone Container Corp. for alleged clean-air violations at the company's corrugated paper mill at One Superior Way, Ontonagon, Mich.
EPA alleges that Stone Container emitted excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from its steam-generating boiler. In addition, EPA alleges the company violated notification, testing, monitoring and reporting requirements of the Clean Air Act.
EPA also cited Stone Container for making a major modification to its boiler without first getting a permit that would prevent deterioration of air quality. EPA alleges the plant continues to violate regulations by operating the boiler without best available technology to control its pollutants.
