EPA cites Perma-Fix

Chicago, IL— U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Perma-Fix of Dayton, Ohio, for alleged clean-air violations at the company’s wastewater and used oil processing plant.

EPA alleged that Perma-Fix modified its used oil operations and constructed wastewater treatment equipment without applying for the necessary air pollution control permits.

These are preliminary findings of violations. To resolve them, EPA may issue a compliance order, assess an administrative penalty or bring suit against the company.
