The Respondent has a wastewater chlorination process at the stationary source. The Respondent’s facility has propane in excess of the 10,000-pound threshold, however, such propane is not used in the wastewater chlorination process.

The facility must still comply with the Program 3 Prevention Program of 40 C.F.R. Part 68, Subpart D for the Chlorine and sulfur dioxide (anhydrous).  On or about June 13, 2019, a representative of EPA conducted an inspection of the Respondents’ facility.
