EPA Records: Just days before South Carolina ordered New Indy to limit foul odor, the company paid a $9K penalty in a separate case

CATAWBA, S.C. Just four days before South Carolina ordered New Indy Containerboard to limit a foul odor coming from its Catawba plant, the company agreed to pay the state of Indiana a $9,000 civil penalty after inspectors flagged New Indy s Hartford City plant for a violation.

New Indy has begun the process of determining the source of the foul odor smelled throughout the Carolinas for the past several months. The Environmental Protection Agency issued an order to New Indy earlier this week, stating they must submit a plan to resolve the odor problem by May 18th. New Indy says they are reviewing the order by the EPA and plan to comply in good faith as soon as they are reasonably and faithfully able. New Indy says the EPA order references information that differs from their findings to date.Â
The New Indy Containerboard paper mill in Catawba, South Carolina.
The Environmental Protection Agency has ordered a South Carolina paper mill to come up with a plan for reducing hydrogen sulfide emissions that are causing unpleasant odors.
Air quality tests by state and federal inspectors last month found elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide around the New Indy Containerboard paper mill. The chemical is a byproduct of the paper-making process.
Odors around the mill on the Catawba River near the North Carolina-South Carolina line have brought more than 17,000 complaints since February.
On Thursday,
the EPA ordered New Indy to submit a draft plan for fixing the problem by Monday, and a final plan by May 24. The plant also must install additional air monitoring equipment.
