After more than 3 years since the EPA issued a Clean Air Act violation notice against Savoy Energy L.P. in May 2015, the violation notice is finally resolved and Savoy L.P. agreed to pay a civil fine of $66,000. The question is if Savoy is also obliged to fix the issues after more than 3 years. An announced site visit in October 2015 yielded that none of the issues that the EPA built their violation case upon were fixed. It is incomprehensible that the EPA never went back to check that the facility transitioned to best management practices - and also has no plan to do so now. A fine of $66,000 seems a low price for Savoy to pay and being allowed to continue to pollute our air...
