Ind. Cement Co. Hit With $729K Penalty Over Air Issues
Law360 (June 3, 2021, 7:40 PM EDT) -- A company that operates a cement manufacturing facility in Indiana agreed to pay a $729,000 penalty over "numerous, longstanding" alleged Clean Air Act issues and to invest in emissions-reducing facility improvements, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.
Lone Star Industries Inc., which is a subsidiary of Buzzi Unicem USA, was accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of violating the Clean Air Act at its Greencastle facility "from 2010 to the present." Among the issues is the opacity of the plant's particulate matter emissions, which is a measure of the amount of light blocked by those emissions.
