The Tennessee Air Pollution Control Board (“Board”) issued a February 25th Technical Secretary’s Order and Assessment of Civil Penalty (“Order”) to Electri-Glass, Inc. (“EGI”) addressing an alleged violation of an air permit. See Division of Air Pollution Control Case No. APC-18-0230.

The Order states that EGI operates a fiberglass reinforcement operation (“Facility”) in Jackson, Tennessee.

The EGI Facility is stated to hold an operating permit (053170P) (“Permit”). Condition 9 of the Permit states:

The permittee shall apply for renewal of this permit not less than sixty (60) days prior to the permit’s expiration date pursuant to Division rule 1200-3-9-.0293).

The Order states that the Permit was amended on June 7, 2002 and expired on July 1, 2011.

The Division of Air Pollution Control (“Division”) of the Board is stated to have received an operating permit application dated May 17, 2018, from EGI. The Order alleges that the application should have been received on or before May 2, 2011. Therefore, it is alleged that EGI has been operating without a permit since July 2, 2011.

The Order proposes a civil penalty of $1,500.

EGI is provided certain appeal rights.
