Transportation Services Company: EPA Compliance and Reporting

We assisted an aircraft painting company in responding to a formal inquiry by EPA regarding compliance with new source review requirements, as well as technology standards, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

The company received a formal information request under section 104 of the Clean Air Act. EPA requested information about the history of the plant’s operations and documents to demonstrate compliance. We helped the client identify the records needed to respond to EPA’s concerns and helped them prepare a written response to the request.

EPA information requests often are the first step in formal enforcement actions, but if handled well they can resolve agency concerns and bring the matter to a close.
