forth in the Complaint filed in this
matter asserted by the United States
against Defendant wTe Recycling, Inc.
(‘‘wTe’’), pursuant to the Clean Air Act,
42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q, with respect to
wTe’s metals recycling facility located
at 75 Southern Avenue in Greenfield,
Massachusetts (‘‘Facility’’). The claims
alleged in the complaint pertain to a
change in operations at the Facility in

thresholds and wTe’s failure to
implement appropriate control
technology and obtain required
regulatory approvals, as well as
violations relating to the operation of
the recycling engines at the Facility. The
proposed consent decree would require
wTe to pay a civil penalty of $277,000

causing the excess emissions
culminating in total cessation by mid2021 and to mitigate the excess
emissions by purchasing and retiring
discrete emission reduction credits.
