The United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, has issued an administrative consent order to Mercury Marine that requires the company to comply with federal hazardous air pollutant emissions standards at its aluminum recovery plant in Fond du Lac, Wis.
EPA cited Mercury Marine last September for failing to comply with these standards. Specifically, EPA said the company failed to meet operating, planning, notification, reporting, testing and recordkeeping requirements for its plant.
The administrative order does not limit EPA's authority to seek appropriate relief, including penalties, for Mercury Marine's alleged violation of these clean-air regulations.
