EPA reaches agreement with TES Filer City power plant
Chicago, Ill. - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with TES Filer City Station LP on alleged clean-air violations at the company's 60-megawatt cogeneration power plant at 700 Mee St., Filer City, Mich.
The agreement, which includes a $24,500 penalty, resolves EPA allegations that TES Filer City Station violated its state operating permit by failing to observe and/or record visible emissions from three emissions units on several occasions and by feeding excess petroleum coke into both of its boilers on four occasions.
