Partial EPA Win Protects Local Air
On December 16, 2024 the EPA granted in part and denied in part a July 19, 2024 petition about the Title V operating permit for AdvanSix Resins and Chemicals, Hopewell Plant in the City of Hopewell, Prince George County, Virginia. The EPA agreed with some concerns, which means the plant must fix certain air pollution issues noted by petitioners.
Plant May Continue Operating During Fixes
The EPA order lets the AdvanSix Hopewell plant keep operating while it makes required changes to address the granted concerns. That means workers and the local economy are not forced into an immediate shutdown while the company implements fixes.
