EPA v. FOREST CITY TECHNOLOGIES - APO/CAFO

Case summary

Forest City violated the 8 pounds per hour SIP rule from several of their metal parts coating emission units located at their Rockford, IL facility. We performed an unannounced inspection at the facility after visiting another Forest City facility that has very similar operations and is required to operate a catalytic oxidizer to maintain compliance. We discovered these violations from sending a Section 114 Information Request to the facility requesting operating records and solvent usage. This CAFO requires Forest City to pay a penalty of $48,000, and resolves the violations set forth in the NOV issued to Forest City on August 4, 2016.
