- The owners of a chemical plant in Buffalo are disputing a shutdown order
issued by the state over sulfur dioxide emissions.
The New York Department of
Environmental Conservation on Saturday directed PVS Chemical Solutions to
cease operations at its plant in the Seneca-Babcock neighborhood after high
sulfur dioxide emissions were detected at nearby athletic fields.
“Until PVS can prove it can operate without emitting potentially
harmful SO2
into this community, either by altering operations or scaling back
production, it should remain shuttered,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said
in a statement. In its own
statement, the Detroit-based company said the shutdown “is not justified in
any way" and said it has safely processed sulfuric acid at the plant for 40
years. The company added it was given no warning about the closure order
during discussions with the DEC as recently as Friday.
PVS said it “will tone down operations while we work with the DEC
through the courts to remedy this situation," the Buffalo News reported.
Complaints about sulfur dioxide odors led the DEC to put an air
monitoring trailer near the athletic fields last year, and the agency issued
notices of violation after excess levels were detected, according to the
newspaper. www.romesentinel.com
