B.F. GOODRICH COMPANY IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF PARTICULATE MAT- TER, IN VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE OHIO REGULATIONS APPROVED AND ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF THE CASE ON FEBRUARY 17, 1984, REGION V ISSUED A NOTICE OF VIO- LATION TO B.F. GOODRICH COMPANY FOR VIOLATION OF OHIO SIP AP-3-11 AT ITS AVON LAKE CHEMICAL PLANT. AP-3-11 IS PART OF THE FEDERALLY APPROVED OHIO SIP AND LIMITS THE EMISSION OF PARTICULATE MATTER FROM FUEL-BURNING STATIONARY SOURCES. GOODRICH OPERATES TWO COAL-FIRED BOILERS (IN ADDITION TO FOUR GAS-FIRED BOILERS) AT AVON LAKE, BOTH OF WHICH WERE STACK TESTED AND FOUND TO BE EMITTING PARTICULATE MATTER IN EXCESS OF AP-3-11 LIMITATIONS. AVON LAKE IS LOCATED IN A PORTION OF LORAIN COUNTY WHICH IS NON-ATTAINMENT FOR THE SECONDARY PARTICULATE MATTER STANDARD. CAUSE OF ACTION GOODRICH'S EMISSIONS ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE OHIO SIP AND, BECAUSE GOODRICH IS A MAJOR SOURCE, U.S. EPA IS RE- QUIRED TO BRING SUIT TO ABATE THE VIOLATIONS AND RECOVER CIVIL PENALTIES, UNDER SECTION 113 OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT, 42 U.S.C. SECTION 7413. PROPOSED REMEDY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE OHIO SIP, GOOD- RICH MUST EITHER INSTALL CONTROL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A BAG- HOUSE, OR USE ONLY GAS-FIRED BOILERS
