U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Wabash Environmental Technologies LLC for alleged violations of federal clean-air regulations at the company's waste treatment facility in Terre Haute, Ind.
EPA alleges that in November 2000 Wabash began operating a biological waste treatment system with a potential to emit more hazardous air pollutants than EPA regulations allow. EPA said the system did not meet hazardous air pollutant control requirements at startup and still does not meet requirements.
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. Wabash has 30 days from receipt of the notice to meet with EPA to discuss resolving the allegations.
