Pursuant to Part 70 Permit 085-39391-00003 condition D.12.1(b)(1), in order to render the requirements of 326 IAC 2-2 PSD not applicable, the PM10 emissions after control from the units of the Phenolic Urethane Core Making Line #12 exhausting to Stack T shall not exceed 0.065 pound per ton of sand.

On August 14, 2019, Respondent conducted stack testing of the Phenolic Urethane Core Making Line #12 emitting 0.50 pounds per ton of PM, 0.19 pounds per ton of PM10 and 0.19 pounds per ton of PM2.5, in violation of Part 70 Permit 085-39391-00003 conditions D.12.1(b)(1) and D.12.1(c)(1).

Pursuant to IC 13-30-3-3, the Commissioner herein provides notice that the violations may exist and offers an opportunity to enter into an Agreed Order providing for the action required to correct the violations and, as necessary and appropriate, for the payment of a civil penalty. The Commissioner is not required to extend this offer for more than sixty (60) days.

Pursuant to IC 13-30-3-3, an alleged violator may enter into an Agreed Order without admitting the violations occurred. IDEM encourages settlement by Agreed Order, thereby resulting in quicker correction of the environmental violations and avoidance of extensive litigation. Timely settlement by Agreed Order may result in a reduced civil penalty. Also, settlement discussions will allow Respondent the opportunity to present any mitigating factors that may be relevant to the violations.
