Three scheduled compliance inspections at the US Nitrogen LLC facilities in Greene County were delayed by several months due to pandemic restrictions, according to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
Kim Schofinski, spokewoman for the agency, said the three reports are now being finalized. All three are to determine if the sites are in compliance with storm water runoff and related permit requirements.
"The time period of the inspection field activity was delayed due to observing COVID safety guidelines," Schofinski added.
Two of the inspections were due on Oct. 8 of last year and the third was due on Sept. 30, 2020.
The sites being inspected include the water treatment facility used to treat Nolichukee River water before it is used in the production of ammonium nitrate. That site is permitted to the Industrial Development Board of Greeneville and Greene County and US Nitrogen.
The other two permits were granted directly to US Nitrogen.
