U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Anchor Glass Container Corp. for alleged clean-air violations at the company's container glass manufacturing plant in Lawrenceburg, Ind. EPA proposed a $96,901 penalty.
EPA alleges that Anchor Glass failed to use its baghouses to control emissions of particulate matter (dust, smoke, ash) at the plant as required by the company's state operating permit. EPA also alleges that the company failed to comply with a number of other requirements in its state operating permit.
The alleged violations were discovered during an inspection late last year by EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
