The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has assessed a $17,204 penalty to medical manufacturer Precision Coating Co., Inc. for violating the Massachusetts Air Pollution Control regulations at its Hudson facility.
The DEP release announcing the penalty stated during multiple visits in 2018 and 2019 stack emissions in excess of the issued air quality permit were visible and complaints from neighbors were made regarding an odor.
“Odors and visible emissions are clear indicators that a company’s air pollution control systems are not functioning properly,” said Mary Jude Pigsley, director of MassDEP’s Central Regional Office in Worcester.
Under a recently finalized consent order, Precision Coating will pay a $17,204 penalty, and the company will install a large activated-carbon control device and new spray booth exhaust filters to minimize the odors and particulate emissions to return to compliance with its air permit.
