Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has announced a settlement has been reached with a Manitowoc business that violated air laws.
On Monday (July 22), Kaul said that Kerry Inc. must pay the $85,000 settlement to resolve violations of Wisconsin air laws related to its operation of a liquid smoke manufacturing facility in the city.
According to the state, Kerry Inc. did not observe its emissions’ opacity, did not test carbon monoxide concentration in said emissions, and did not operate air pollution control equipment within the parameters of their permit.
The investigation of these violations was a result of tips to the DNR by Manitowoc residents.
Attorney General Kaul said, “As this case shows, Wisconsinites can help address air pollution by reporting potential violations.”
He also thanked everyone involved in keeping Wisconsin’s air clean.
